Ground Up Build: My Sportster Chopper

(Isle of Man, UK)

Hi everyone! Just thought you would like to see my lastest build I've been working on.

I've been chopping bikes since I was 18 and lovin' every minute of it. Its in the blood, I'm sure....

Anyhow, all the years I've been doing it, I never got round to building a chop from scratch, from the ground up, until now that is...

I basically started with a standard 1991 Sportster & tore the thing to pieces. I fabricated the new frame from some 1 1/4" dom tubing. Hope you all like it!

The bike's not quite finished at present. It's just needing to get my kick stand welded on and my oil bag mounted in place. Then it's time to strip her down and off to paint, build her back up, wire it up, and away we go.....

Keep on chopping everyone, Respect....
