Chopper Chopper description

This is my idea of a 70's style chopper. I built it from the ground up with that idea in mind. This bike is not going to be for everyone - it does not have any comfort features. It is a rigid frame bike with NO electric start. That's right... kick start only. No cruise control, no radio... just a radical old school bike. It does have some great things going for it - it is a starts easily, one to two kicks is all it takes. It handles very well, floats down the road, move your hips and the bike responds and moves with you. It also is awsome to look at! Chrome in all the right places and all HOK paint. I spent just under 19k on just the parts for this bike, the reserve is half of that. It's a great bike with a great look. Send me any questions you have.

Here are some of the parts used to build this bike:

  • Rolling Thunder rigid frame built to my specs, 6" up/ 3" out stretch with a true 50 degree rake.
  • Rebuilt 80CI Harley shovelhead engine.
  • S&S Super E carb
  • 5 speed Ultima transmission (with a HD gearset) with kick start conversion.
  • BDL 3" open primary.
  • Avon tires: MH90-21 front and 180/55v18 rear
  • DNA 80 spoke front wheel and Paughco 80 spoke rear wheel
  • DNA Sprockster rear brake
  • Redneck Engineering "New School" springer front end, built to spec for this bike.
  • Badlands Digital mirrors with full gauges.
  • Compufire Alternator
  • Wires plus wiring harness
  • Dyna 2000 ignition system
  • All House of Kolor paint (primer, base, top, flake and clear). The paint design was layed out by me (one of a kind).
  • 16" high ape hanger handle bars

Natural Habitats

Sat, 26 Jan 2013

SAM Christmas has been a professional photographer for the last 3 years and is the man behind Natural Habitats, a collection of photos covering the growing UK custom scene, showing bikes and their builders at home.    Sam's clients include the likes of Honda, Dainese, Google, Polo Jeans and Edwin denim but Natural Habitats is a personal project that took one and a half years to complete. I got to meet Sam when the exhibition opened in Shoreditch on Thursday evening.

Chopper Powered by Natural Gas

Fri, 29 May 2009

Claiming to be the worlds first, the compressed natural gas chopper was unveiled in Orange County, New York, by none other than Paul Teutul Sr., of Orange County Choppers (OCC) who constructed the chopper for the Chesapeake Energy Corporation. The build will be on OCC at some point this year, not many other details at this point. Hit the jump to watch the unveiling video.

The Nine-Cylinder Motorcycle

Fri, 17 May 2013

Most would think a radial airplane engine is best left for airplanes. Frank Ohle is not one of those people. This mad fabricator from Germany found himself in possession of a Rotec Radial R3600 airplane engine and decided the best place for it was not in the sky, but in fact on the ground, in a motorcycle.
