Re: EL Grande Choppa

Hey OUTLAW!! I know you love a good old burrito and you also love your Harley. Could this be a Burrito stuffed with a Hot-N-Spicy motor? :shock: That's my best guess on this one!!

What size is it? Did you have to widen the OCC rear triangle to get it to fit?

Just askin' for possible future theft.... :roll:

Re: EL Grande Choppa

lol, hot an spicy motor! now that would be fun. but no, just my old legs are going to try and move this one.lol.

size, it's a 16 in x 130mm motorcycle tire which is about a little over 5 in's. nope didn't have to make it wider but it is tight. will have to make some adj. for chain to miss the tire and then there will be other stuff that will go along with that. hmmm, did i get your attn. yet? :lol:

i'll post the mock up pic's this weekend. thanks

may have a bit of a ground clearance issue, no? im all for low...but on the ground is a bit much to ride.

 

[OUTLAW]

hahaha, yep, could be rough, but it will come up some more when it's all done. i took it out of the jig and the front forks came back. it will be better.lol. i did like it but i don't think i could get it over any sand in the road.lol.

Outlaw :lol:

Doing the front coaster brake?

 

[OUTLAW]

kota, yep, i seen it before but can't remember who did it. since i won't be able to put a brake on the rear due to wide tire thought i would try the freewheel brake. looks fun.lol

ok, there is a post of someone building a Burrito but he doesn't like the name. he wants to have a poll to change it to something else. said he had a hard time telling people what in meant. go read his post. he didn't understand the name. he also didn't do a search about it. so, here is what happen and how the name came to be. maybe this person will read this post.

when choppers forum was around a guy named Honest Abe built the first one. we needed a name for the style, so we did a poll. mine was Long Rider but it was kind of boring, no story for it. so Junkman entered his name BURRITO to the list as a joke and it won. here is his story why: 1st you have a late nite Burrito, then go to bed, and BAMM you have a dream, not like MLK, but how to build a BUTT scrappin bike. it could be a combo of Taco Bell indigestion gasses causing a toxic hallucination. i don't know, but now when the ? is asked, there is a story.

so that is how it all came about. like it or not, do what ya want. i like the name and will keep using it. what gets me is someone uses the name but says he doesn't like the name. if ya don't like the name then don't use it. call it whatever ya want. i am glad this is my post that way i can rant all i want.lol.

VIVA BURRITOS.
