I accidentally deleted those posts. as i said it needs a lot of work, and i've already got it torn apart. this is how it looked when i brought it home. 7 speed, 24" rear wheel with a 3 inch wide tire and a disk brake. chrome-molly frame and forks, 20" front wheel with a 3 inch wide tire (that is getting replaced with a bigger rim and a skinnier tire). I've got some good ideas for this one, and it will be strictly peddle power, no engine for this one.  |

I actually thought about a 100 c.c. 2 stroke and 5 speed trans off of a 1973 Kawasaki enduro that i have (i've had it since i was around 11 years old) but the motorcycle is in too good of condition to tear apart. it has 1200 original miles on it and it looks like brand new. |

updated pic of the chopper (in progress). what do you think of it so far? the front wheel is aluminum off of a 10 speed, with a skinny low profile road bile tire. I polshed the hoop, and painted the spokes and hub gloss black. I painted the hoop on the back rim with some nickle paint and left the spokes black. I might rough up the polsh on the front rim to give it a brushed look to match the back rim better. The front rim was all crusty when i got it and i polished it up last night. I still have a lot of work to do...  |

Wait until you see the new rear tire that I'm getting for it.
It's a 24" x 3.5" wide drag slick.
I'm trying to make it look more like a drag bike than a chopper.
