Chop's House of Speed and Style...New Bars

[Ichoptop]

just needed to finish up one detail. The headlight needed light. It is my opinion if anything is bolted to a bike that isnt functional it should be removed with a hammer then beaten over the owners head.

anyhow. I tucked everything into the headlight assembly for the Invalid

rear view of the 12v switch powered on. it should be easily flipped on and yet still out of the way enough that it wont look out of place

All lit up. I cut an orange gel and put it between the gasket and light frame for a nice orange glow to match the paint.

That....is....awesome!

Cheers,

Components can make or break a bike, so I am always interested to see what others are doing, specially when they are building them themselves...
Awesome seat and bars, loving the seat a lot! Will it be comfortable to ride?

Nice work on the headlight, the orange filter is a nice detail.

Headlight mount done on the MURDER build. should look pretty cool

Luke, the seat is very comfortable for what it is. I built one almost identical for my BSA bobber. It was good for a hundred miles or so at the time ...and it was a hard tail with very little air in the tire. I am hoping the berm masters ride the same.

Found this Kopp lens. Box says 1933. Fits the bezel for the MURDER build perfectly. I wonder how it will look with 36 LEDs shining through it.? Rethinking MUDERS color scheme

 

[LukeTheJoker]

That is one beautiful lense!
Should convert nicely...

Luke.

 

[Lowlife Lucas]

That looks awesome, I can't wait to see it lit up!
I like that seat as well, look forward to seeing more of the bike!

 

[Ichoptop]

wired this up while watching Supercross tonight. Throws a ton of light thru the vintage blue glass.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Cool light, nice work!
Thanks for replying regarding the seat, might have to make one myself at some point...

Luke.

finally a warm day out and I got to bolt from work at noon.

 

[Ichoptop]

MURDER build is done. Will post pictures as soon as they are done.

I was cleaning up the shop and kept seeing all these parts from a bike I picked up awhile back so I started throwing parts on just to get them off the bench.

Just posted a new video. trying to sell off some bikes to clear up some room in the shop. http://youtu.be/FNINeELLewU

 

[Ichoptop]

Ichop: Wish I would've seen your post sooner,both are sweet looking bikes! That headlight is killer. :mrgreen:

Painting a new summer helmet

 

[Ichoptop]

spent some time in the shop (been waiting for some normal weather) and did some gaudy new fastners.

 

[Ichoptop]

Welded in a bevel for the speedo and did some bodywork magic. Crappy paint but I plan on tearing the whole thing down for a real paint job in a few weeks.
