honda vlx chopper

This Honda vlx chopper has a 48 degrees rake neck, 6 in trees, 230 rear tire with no modification to rear end, 2 inch drop in rear shock, 12 over forks. All work done by myself and I have no formal training. But I can let go of the handlebars at 20 or 70 mph as long as the throttle is engaged.

thanks for the quick reply. one more question buddy. how exactly did you do a 230 tire? did you use a different rim I'm assuming and everything else is stock? no breaks in the swingarm and no extended front sprocket? because a lot of people want to know what the biggest rear tire is that will fit this bike without nodding it
thanks

Where did you get the 48 degrees rake neck from for the VLX and it says you did all the work yourself did you weld it or take it to a shop? if you did it briefly, how? and if you had a shop do it, how much?

Thanks man!!
