  1. Obviously a talented fellow. Shame about the rigid rear end on the yellow bike, though.
     
  2. Yellow one - I'd like to see more of the tank chop, if you can, looks like a good effort. Forks are nice. Bobber is special too.

  3. sweet! like the tubular swingarm very much, is he considering production or commissions?
     
  4. I'll ask. Would you want it identical?
     
  5. I'll try and get some more photos

  6. it was more idle curiosity than anything firm, the guy obviously has a talent for fabrication was wondering if he earns his living from it.
     
  7. I think I would like to see more rake on the front forks of the yellow one, but I guess the springs would lose their effectiveness.......(which is why there are double banks of springs on some chop front ends)

  8. I reckon the rake is the same as normal, if you eyeball them.......
     
  9. I meant that to me it looks as though it should be a chopper type of conversion, thus needing more rake......

    But it is an interesting pair of forks to say the least..........nearly back to girder forks....
