nooob... building bikes

[skidmark]

Was killin time at work and read a lot here. Just recently picked up a decent welder because I am a motorbike stunt rider and now I will build all of my own parts (crash cages, scrape bars, frame strengthening, etc...)

Gonna build a chopper too when I can scrounge up a V-twin motor. Thanks for all the info here. Saved me a lot of trouble

Welcome to the forum. I hope the "chopper" you are gonna build is a Harley, or Triumph based one. Those Jap bikes chopped down make me wince!

I have yet to see a chinese chopper though. The day i do im heading for the hills !

Skidmark, welcome to the forum. Here's a pic of how a chopper shouldn't look

Can't see that being very safe to ride (or very comfortable either)

Now those really are Ape Hangers

wozzaaah - that's the crash position, bars act as a roll bar and the risers the ball rest.....

At least he can take some of the weight off his @rse on long rides They can't be legal surely? (insert airplane 'don't call me Shirley' joke here )

Maybe the bike is normal size and its the guy who's only 3 foot 2

LOL, that can't be for real... how can you turn??

I wanna build a bobber, kinda like this. Gonna probably go with a Triumph motor, unless I can get a hold of a Harley Sportster motor
