Lower end and Heads after being painted at Custom Design Studios. The engine is ready for assymbly.

Custom Swingarm in progress, Designed by Showket Design. The original Chopper Guys Swing arm is very nice and I wanted to keep it, but it is hard to justify 15 pounds for a swing arm. If you look close in the top 2 pics you can see the drafting prior to the fabrication.

Upside Down on Fabrication Plate

The start of the seat pan to be mounted onto the bike with all blind hardware.

An FLH transmission is placed into the Chopper guys frame and setup with the swingarm. The FLH tranny is used to replace the oil bag on the bike and to be able to carry more oil. Ride height and suspension travel are measured, 11.5" Progressive Suspension Adjustable Shocks are chosen for the rear. With the shocks chosen we are able to set the rear fender and drill for mounting.

The licence plate mounting system has been fabricated and welded to the inside of the fender. The plate will bolt to the fender from the under side and only the numbers and stickers will show through the flush mounted plexiglass lens.

The Custom tail light and brake light are flush mounted into the rear fender. The graphics will be integrated through the lights. The lights will be on a custom LED circuit that is currently under construction.

The Custom dash is one piece and is fit into the custom Tank Panel. The tank panel is welded to the tank to become a molded part in the future. The dash grows out from underneath the tank panel at an angle. The ignition switch will be mounted in the center of the dash just below the VDO Speedometer. The only hardware that can be seen for the attachment of the dash is a small allen head at the front of the dash.

The Tanks and Dash flow very nicely into the Chopper Guys frame. Notice how the line of the tanks extends into the fame so the flow of the eye is never interrupted by the transition.

The tanks have been completed at this stage. But, before we can seal them the custom dash will be fabricated and a way to attach it must be welded to the tank. Notice the custom tank mount in the rear and the reshaping of the front tank mount along with tucking it closer to the frame. The entire tank itself was lowered 1" on the frame.

Here is the tank in progress of being stretched at Greg Hartwells Fabrication Shop.

The rear suspension has just been mached up and drilled. Here you can see the complete set up before any drilling was done. Then the fender was drilled and test mounted for proper fit....it fit!

Here is the frame with the addition of the PM Cobra wheels and the new rear fender (Not yet mounted). Currently she will be built with a 180/55/18.

This is the new frame after powder coating. Notice the swing arm- it is solid steel. Notice the width of the frame, it can handle up to a 200 tire with the belt drive.
