Ok,..in my almost 50 years of biking and building Choppers I have never mounted the rear-fender as you just did. In my opinion only the other way around works and cut to length gives the mean look of a Chopper. A true Chopper starts with rubber in the Front and ends with rubber in the Rear 👍🏻✊🏻🇺🇸

@@danielroddenberry I suggest anyone that wants to do this should first put some struts on your sporty and ride it around for a month. Trust me you will regret it when your 55 and got no back left to ride.Or like after your first ride and your b1tch will say no more. If you still want to do it get a smaller wheel with a big fucking tire and run 5to10pound like all the classic choppers did and consider a good quality sprung seat. way to ruin a nice sporty surely It don't cost much more to buy a whole frame so you can go back and cheaper still buy someone else's because there will be plenty out there because no one wants them. Better off with a seperate bike to ride around the block consider you won't be riding to fast anywhere. You can do a great sprung tail chopper too your b1tch wont whining about her sore twot when get to the bikeshow..

About the rear axel adjuster. Couldn’t you drill thru the threaded part on the frame and use the original adjuster with the nut on the ”inside”? Between the axel and the former threaded part….

@ThrottleAddictionCo Жыл бұрын

In theory yes, but I'm not sure if the threaded portion coming off the original axel adjuster would line up correctly with the hole in our welded on axel adjuster bung. Why are you considering doing this?

@donaldashburn7313 Жыл бұрын

When when you put that mood before you put that motor in there and you welded it up when you took the motor out why didn't you just go have the frame painted stead of putting the motor and put in the front end on go take it for a ride then come back in tear it all apart again to go and paint it wouldn't it be

@ThrottleAddictionCo Жыл бұрын

We just did that for the sake of seeing if we could go from a running bike to installing our hardtail kit back to a running bike in a single day. If we weren't doing that challenge we would've taken the opportunity to paint the frame

I know the end result would be a stunning bike to look at but seriously, why going back in technology with an all rigid rear frame? The suspension on the sportster is already low on travel and uncomfortable. Its just a way to ruin a motorcycle. But oh well..this is just my opinion.
