Copper Chopper!

[expjawa]

I set out this year, initially, to do something a bit over the top. Then I realized what I had in mind would take more time to do it right than I really had. So, I relaxed my objective to just building something cool that I'd enjoy riding about. To that end, I present to you the Copper Chopper!

The full build thread is here:

Thanks guys.

You'd have to see the first page or so of the build thread. But it was it was spacier and a bit radical by comparison.

WHOA!!!
That came together quick at the end. This build is like Elvis Meets Buck Rogers! The King would have loved those fins and bumper bullet light!
Great job buddy!!!!

Thank you. A lot of the parts were simmering for quite a while, so the last week was just putting it all together and tightening bolts. But it was still a bit of a push to get there, and my entire house is trashed due to neglecting other chores...

Love the way it came together and copper highlights.

You may need 9 months to get back into the good books after this, however I think the bike is worth all your efforts.
