Welcome !! Very nice work on the bike..am i noticing a OCC / West Coast Chopper "marriage" there ? Looks pretty comfortable too !

 

[FatBoy]

Thanks for the warm welcome fellas.Until I stumbled onto this site I didnt realize so many people build there own bikes.It all started because I bought my wife and mother inlaw beach cruisers for mothers day and tried riding my sons old bmx bike and it about killed me to keep up with them.Then I was to cheap to pay out for a streched cruiser and thought ill build my own, now im hooked...So its good to know im not Crazy with my newfound hobby.D :idea: oes anyone else wake up in the middle of the night with new ideas? :idea:

Welcome!

Any chance you could tell me what the width of the rear hub is on that OCC chopper.

Trying to figure out how wide the rear triangle on a bike has to be to squeeze that rear wheel/tire combo in.

Thanks!

@ ratrod the rear hub is 6 3/4" and the swingarm is offset to allow clearence for the chain.Anything else I can help with just let me know!
