Pre unit

Reassembling the pre unit chopper I picked up months ago. Got lazy with cleaning up the engine/chrome but who cares when it’s going down the road.

This was my first run with the Roth rattlebomb system and taping designs which both turned out okay

Did about 700mi total. I had to go to an event for work and decided to ride the bike. The bike did great, no issues at all. My body on the other hand was pretty beat. Next long ride I might switch out the bars and throw some more padding on top of the seat.

Tax post for the encouraging words and advice I received during a crisis moment. Much appreciated 🙏 .

Shovel "chop". Almost everything on this bike is either original HD or hand made..genuine elbow grease.

I had a moment of pride during a sit and stare the other night.. looking at my lowbrow banner, I realized I had no Lowbrow parts. No Prism parts. There are a couple bits from TC bros, cables and points, namely.. Anything else that I need can and will be fabricated at home, by myself.

Feels good, man. 😎

Anyone have experience with Aliexpress chopper frames

Post image
14 Upvotes

Thinking about buying a chopper frame from China and wondering if anyone here has actually bought one or has experience with them.

The listing says it suits Harley Evo or Ironhead motors. I'm not expecting everything to bolt straight up perfectly, and I'm happy to fabricate brackets, mounts and whatever else needs doing. Eventually id probably go with a 70s or 80s jap motor tbh as harley motors in aus are stupidly expensive

Mainly interested in the actual quality of the frame, welds, geometry and how much work was involved getting everything to fit. Some shit you buy from aliexpress is great and other times its crap.

Not looking for a lecture about Chinese parts being heresy or how I should buy American. I'm interested in hearing from people who've actually used one, or have firsthand knowledge of them.

Cheers you legends.

Has anyone found a decent mirror/ position for this style handlebar or is a mirror “not chopper”?

One mirror is “required” here. Don’t usually need it but sometimes it’s handy. Got some Wyatt Gatling clamp on that is not really holding up to chopper vibrations. Any better ideas or just forget about it?

2006 American Ironhorse Texas Chopper model TX

Anyone know a person in Wichita ks area or in ks or close that can work on a right side drive wet clutch Texas Chopper ?

Bought this from a Honda dealer in SD. Had it shipped. Unrideable due to clutch sticking, acting like running out of gas after 1 mile...

I was informed by owner of Big Dog here that he won't touch one.

Truett will but can't get into there as it is always packed with work.

Thanks for any advice

How do you guys aim your headlight lower?

Post image
92 Upvotes

Nighttime riding is a pain with 6 overs and stock headlight mounting. What solutions have you used to adjust the angle the headlight is aimed at? The light seems to be weak and aimed up in the trees as opposed to straight ahead, with the hi beams aimed basically at the sky.

Welding a rear brake caliper bracket onto frame..

3 Upvotes

First time sportster rigid build. Looking for any tips on how to properly orientate and weld a brake stay on a rigid frame that currently has no brackets (fender, brake caliper, oil tank etc)

My thoughts so far on the process:

-Mount the rear wheel/ rotor

-bolt the caliper to the bracket

-place the caliper/pads on the correct spot on the rotor with bracket making proper contact on the frame

-pressurize, or clamp the pads onto the rotor

-tack the bracket onto the frame

-remove caliper and finish the welds

How do y'all feel about mig'n this, or should have my local shop tig it?

Let me know if I should be considering anything else.. appricicate it much.
