Yup, it's a bargain considering that it's the only rigid long American Chopper that runs regularly in PH roads, hways and circumnavigated the Luzon Northern Loop - total of 1,500 kms from Imus to Ilocos Norte to Sta Ana, Cagayan then back to Imus.

How could you ever part with such a machine?
@elchopperphonfb8 ай бұрын
I intend to infuse more money to my LPG business. I'm having difficulty finding a buyer cause even huge guys and veteran riders are declining to buy it due to difficulty of the handling. I don't know if a Sugar Bear front end would solve it. But for me since I adjusted to its handling the second day it was with, I have no trouble even standing on it while riding it or taking it to tight sloping roads going up the mountain like Talisay road going up to Tagaytay.

@@elchopperphonfb It seems like the bike has the same problem as the Easy Rider Captain America made in 1968: raked frame head tube with standard triple tree fork is a bad combination. It has the tendency of wanting to turn left or right, and the rider has to force it straight, and has to lift up the whole bike front when turning it straight. As seen in Easy Rider when the watch is thrown away: Fonda lets handle bar go, fork slams to the right side, bike front dropping down an inch or two. He needs both hands to turn it straight, lifting the front end up in the process. You need a triple tree with more rake that moves the front wheel even more forward. Harley used to offer such adjustable triple trees for sidecar use back in the 1950s and 1960s, but only few were made, some used on choppers. Look up adjustable triple tree. The problem it that you will need even longer fork tubes to compensate. And then it is still rigid hardtail. So wait until you find some tough guy who wants the bike as it is.

You analyzed it well, that's how the handling behaves exactly and yes same problem with The Captain America Chopper used by Fonda. I had to force myself to adjust to it or "tame" it and luckily for me, it only took a few days. The first time I tried riding it, I was not able to put up either of my foot on a peg cause I was afraid I might lose my balance and fall. Since 2018, I've been regulary using it like a standard bike but maybe because I'm physically fit especially my upper body cause i do push ups. Just last March I took it for a 1500-km Luzon Northern Loop. Thanks for the tip for an alternative front end.

* Alternative option with adjustable triple tree also. I appreciate it. Thanks.

No brand of front end will totally fix it.

The belt drive is waiting to snag someone. Ever hear of a cover?
@elchopperphonfb3 ай бұрын
I don't need it. It's the only long, rigid chopper that circumnavigated the Northern Luzon Loop almost continuously (1,500 kms) plus Quezon and Bataan provinces and used almost daily since I bought it in 2018. So if I have a problem with it, I should have bought a belt cover for the primary transmission belt.

Real manly are those 6 feet plus in height (white & Asian) who failed to buy that beast from me cause they can't simply tame it, ride it due to its heavy handling and rigidity. I'm only 5'7" and 145 lbs, but if you check my other videos, you'll see that I'm just toying with this beast.
