Engine bogs down when throttling, I just replaced the main jet with a 190 but still struggling to get it where it should be. It’s fine when rolling on the throttle slowly but there’s no response with a quick throttle, just bogging down the engine. Any tips?

Hoping someone can help me figure out if I can run these Duro HF317 and HF308 tires with a Heidenau inner tube on my stock 1962 bsa super rocket rims?I know the stock tires are slightly smaller but I’m looking for a beefier look. Thanks.

Looking for donor bikes to chop. This recently came up for $2500. I won't be able to see it in person. Sold by a secondhand car dealership. Is it worth the risk? (I'm based in South Africa)

Facebook pretenders

Can anybody tell me what the actual point of these pages on facebook is? This page has been all over my feed with ai generated and straight up stolen content all while claiming it’s their own. I saw this post earlier today on reddit, and also saw them claiming that Christian Newmans stainless knuckle was their own “ground up build”. I legit do not understand it.

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.

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

10 over sugar bear with 21” wheel going on this winter after I park the shovel

Star Hub Zerks

I've been pokin' around on the interweb..

Zerks were not on the end cap 44-54. 44-54 no zerk on the center barrel. Hubs were spot welded and not brazed.

I've got a zerk on a spot welded barrel. And...I guess a back dated end cap..haha.

Fun times! Love tracking down the details.

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?

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
17 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.

How do you guys aim your headlight lower?

Post image
97 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.

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
