West Coast Cheese Head... Finally given to its OwnerWest Coast Cheese Head... Finally given to its OwnerIm building this West Coast Chopper for my brother inlaw who is a huge Green Bay Packer fan.I allready put a 26" up front a 24" out back ,Occ forks,some bars I cut up for it and a smaller crans set.This was gonna be my BO7 bike but I might end up stretching it about 10" and that wouldnt be legal...Any way my brother inlaw has been after me to build one for him so here we go!

Re: West Coast Cheese HeadI really want to cut one of these up!!! Looking forward to seeing the progress pics.
Re: West Coast Cheese HeadI started stretchin the frame,I got the top bar where I want it but im going to make the bottom tube straight .I think it will look better then the factory look but it all could change at any given moment you know how that goes!

Re: West Coast Cheese HeadLike I said it can change in an instant and it had to...I mocked up a chain and it went right into the chainstays so I flipped the rear section 180 degrees and it looks even better and the chain will work just right!

Re: West Coast Cheese Head...AKA "Stretched Jesse"if you find the 24" rear wheel, you can still get a 3" tire on it with a little trimmimg, and sliding the dropouts down a little bit.
start where you are
use what you have do what you can. arthur ashe
