Got the latest edition in from SumpThing folks in the Netherlands.. Have to pull the 836 I'm using in the chopper out of another bike and get her on the stand to start detailing the engine... Going to fabricate a pseudo oil tank now mid section under frame to hide all of my electronics in.. Not to sure I can get the coils pushed in there or not.. burying them in a tank recess I think is off the page now but we will see.. This piece is a work of art though.. cant wait to see how it fits under the frame!

No worries, it's a cool piece.. cant wait to get it test fitted, but will be when I can get an exhaust system to play around with...
Did manage to get my hands on an original Denver Choppers tank... going to go ahead and put the same mounting tabs and paint both tanks for a quick change up lol

I'm really digging the old school look where the seat actually sits down into the frame rails a bit... going to start getting that setup this weekend with any luck...
I did the geometry on the front end all wrong (didn't have engine or factor in rider weight) and ended up with slightly negative trail on the front end so made these things to get the right axle placement to find that 0-2" trail I'm looking for.. should be able to get rocker design ironed out this weekend then play with a rotor/caliper setup going as well..
I'm still wondering if I should go with a full size rotor on that 21" wheel... I really do like the look of a smaller 8" rotor with a single caliper BUT I like the idea of having a more effective 10.5 or 11 inch with twin piston caliper... Going to pull off my floater on the walking dead bike and see how it meshes with the wagon wheel design.. Found a company overseas that will make a full floater with dimensions I need.. Anyone know of anybody state side that makes custom brake rotors???
