I found this bike in a little town in Iowa. And I mean little town. The population is 3. A friend of a friend of a friend called me to tell me about the bike. I drove over and knew I had to have the bike. I sold the "Silver Ghost" to finance the purchase of this old school chopper.
When I first saw this bike I just had to have it. Someone slap me if that happens again.... I love the old school look and the nice lines. The one thing I didn't cound on was the motor being completely froze up. But even when I noticed that I still had to have it.
The exhaust were really cool... I don't have them anymore but still there really cool. They were sold by Toms Choppers in california and were listed as inductor headers. I think that may have just been there name for them. One of the really cool things about this bike besides the bike itself, is that the guy kept ALL the paper work on it. he had his original sale reciept even the chroming reciepts. to chrome everything on the bike cost 150 dollars.... DAMN I wish I could get that deal now.
I don't know why but I love this seat. It is definalty not the current styling of today but I just love the seat and sissy bar. You'll notice that this oil tank is the same oil tank I ended up using on the Chopper/Bobber.
The whole front end was off a harley sportster. I traded teh front end to one of the bro's on hondachopper.com for a springer. Well thats about as far as I've gotten with this bike so far. I'll keep ya up to date with the changes and there will be lots of pictures.
