CUSTOM 70s CHOPPER SURVIVOR

[Rat Rod]

Couldn't pass this one up.....recognized the fork right away.

Supposedly it sat in storage for a very long time and then it was donated to a church with a bunch of other stuff recently. The guy selling it for the church wasn't a bike guy.

Not your normal bike buy.
Pretty cool.

No Crash they aren't for sale. I will be building a few sets of them along with the other chopper forks.

 

[ChicagoMuscle Guy]

AWESOME!

Is it because I'm so used to seeing those forks on a Huffy Rail that the whole bike seems really bunched up?

No....IT IS seriously bunched up.

The main reason is that this particular model of fork has no rake built into it like the usual Top Fueler Drag Forks that you are used to looking at. That's what makes these even more scarce.

Here's Jaxon's bike....

Ahhh... so the mounting plates are different. Thanks for that comparison pic.

I've thought about buying a set from Jaxon, but I don't think I could park it in my garage! lol

Everyone says that this fork I have is a lot easier to ride with. I rode it around some and it is really easy to steer and ride. The only down side is the angle that it puts the frame at with a 20" front wheel makes a heavier rider almost instantly wheelie just sitting on it.

I'm tempted to see how the fork looks on this...

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

That's what went though my head...if you ran a 24 or 26 inch rear and a 20 inch front, it may 'level' things out

For the love of Pete... don't.

That's a gorgeous Fastback.

Bike with these forks shows up at the 4:13 mark.

Tall sissy on it.

Also, that bike has a 16" wheel on it. Evens things out a bit.

Here are the fork plates for these forks.


Top Fueler Plates

The sissy bar in the Whiz Kid video looks like it's on backward (top bend facing forward). Makes me wonder if that was a fad back in the day, to mount them that way...
