Project BOARDCHOP - Build Thread

[jdizon]

Thanks Rich! Hopefully I can bring a few of my bikes out to Born Free or Chopper fest this year. It would be a pleasure to meet you in person. I always appreciate the AWESOME advice and tips that you have given me. So glad I went with these rearsets! My favorite mod thus far.

OK all I want to know is did you look at the show circuit times yet in SOCAL. Both of your bikes need to be out there for people to see your work.
Then the offers will come!!!! BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME.......HAHA

Wanted to go with an internal twist clutch originally but ended up going with a inverted lever. It'll do. Going to Motion Pro next week to get a custom clutch cable made with a inline adjuster.

Oooh nice! I did think of doing the twist clutch too, but I didn't do it in the end!

 

[jdizon]

Thanks man! Yeah as much a cleaner application the twist clutch would have been I had concerns about the ease of the twist without an assisted pulley mechanism as made for the HD kits.

That is what I thought exactly! Also twisting grips on both sides........ not sure about that lol! Maybe a thumb throttle? I don't know, so many choices, so little money!!!!!

 

[jdizon]

Yeah I was thinking about a thumb throttle before but happy I went the internal route for it. MonsterCraftsman demo'd one that looked cool if you were looking

I saw that. Still prefer the internal throttle as there is less clutter on the bars.

Sorry man don't plan to update this thread anymore.

 

[Yamaha_chop]

That would be a shame. I love watching your builds, such a sense of style!

 

[RigidMotion]

That's too bad I really wanted to see how your bike looks finished. If your posting photos of it on another forum or any way I could see the final product let me know.

Undoubtably I will post up another build, and soon! I just picked up a kz440 today

Bay area really isn't that far away, I usually end up driving through there a couple times a year, next time I do I'd love to stop by and check out your builds in person.
