"Get your motor running, get out on the highway, looking for adventure",,,,, ok I really cant get the song 'Born to be wild' out of my head. :shake:. Fitted the handlebar tassels and some slim ones to the sissy...

    2 Cool 4 Skool, Chopper-Up

    I decided that there was no better time than after paint :headbang: to grind back on the frame and sort out that steering limit thingy. Had the choice of limiting the handlebars or limiting the front wheel amount, I chose the later because if I hit a rock at 30 MPH, Ide rather the front forks...

    2 Cool 4 Skool, Chopper-Up

    Soooo much sandingggggg. Well this puts Zen to rest, filler on, filler off, filler on, filler off, my original plan was more in keeping with the Rat Rod ideal rather than "O" so shiny, but I kinda got carried away with 2C4S Chopper-Up and a week later👇 Then another week,,,, NO !, Looking at...

    Back with some extra updates. My Huret Speedo arrived yesterday and I am very pleased in the condition, for one that is 50-60 years old and only done 63 miles (surely not 9963) its just what I was after, I already had a cable and takeoff drive from an earlier Monkey bike project that I can use...

    2 Cool 4 Skool, Chopper-Up

    Thank you for the nice words, I realize Im skating on thin ice with Chopper-Up being motorized, I have looked at other forums but ratrodbikes just ticks all the right buttons for me, seems to have a good bunch of people who just like to be a bit more rebellious, creative and fun.

    2 Cool 4 Skool, Chopper-Up

    Update, with the T-top gear shifter knob fitted and a bit of smoothing around the edges of the tank, its starting to look the part, even though its only for aesthetics as the motor has a centrifugal clutch it keeps the retro look alive. Once its painted I will then apply the stickers...
