'been a while, but I have been working on this chop. Almost to the point of tearing it all apart to blast/mold/paint the frame, but I need to make sure I get this DNA springer to fit in the xs neck. I've called Ardcore twice & emailed them a couple times but never hear back. Once I have that...

Scratch building a chop out of an old '70 frame and a '78 motor. Just about ready to media blast/bondo/paint the frame & now need someone to go through the motor I dug out of a house in MN & give it what it needs. Anyone know/used a shop in SoCal? C'mon back!

I've been looking at some threads here, trying to learn what I need to get the wiring done for this build. :eek: As of right now, all I have is a motor. I'll run the elect. ignition and buy all that stuff from Mike's, but if I have a weak link in my skillset it's electrical (I have many...

This will help a lot man, thank you! Yeah...I bought the wrong bearings :banghead:

Build's coming along, but I've still got a lot left to do: Have had to measure/weld/cuss at myself/cut it off/measure again/weld it again/cuss at myself again/etc., but it's coming together. Can someone out there PLEASE tell me what bearings I need for this DNA springer? I've bought some...

First up is a brand new, never run set of upsweep style pipes, with left side wrap around design, plenty of clearance for ground and oil changes. Made from AMERICAN steel, 1 1/2 O.D. .090 wall tubing and tig welded head collars. Will fit hardtail bobbers too! do not come with hangers or flanges...

I've bought this tank, as well as a couple of others from this Ebay seller. It's a great tank & the price is right. Petcock bung is all the way at the back so you don't waste any fuel. I also like the fact that he offers a "best offer"...offer. I've bought them for 140 before. Here's the...

OK so it's been a little while since my last post, but another build got in the way. That's all finished so this one is back on.:thumbsup: As I mentioned before, my son and I are building this together for him to ride when he gets a bit older. Being that this frame has been in Utah (and I...

10 4 on the Pamco stuff. Better to do something right the first time. I've offered a guy 30 bucks for his complete exhaust. Hell, he was only asking 50 to begin with. Don't care about the chrome as long as they're not rotten/warped. I'm gonna wrap them anyway.

I agree. Both of em make a huge difference. Just found and old school twisted chrome sissy bar from a guy I know who was gonna throw it away! Score.

All over that wishbone kit Neanderthal, thanks for the head's up!!

But if he got hurt playing football, he couldn't ride his bikes haha

That's what I keep telling HIM haha - thanks :) He's not a big kid but wants to play football. I told him that he could play but he'd ride the pine more than play because he's just not built like a football player...but ride this chop to school and he'll be giving the QB's girlfriend a ride...

Springer is in route but it's a DNA. Here's a screenshot of the IG ad: Not the prettiest but the deal was good. Missing the top clamp but that's an easy fix. I've got a couple offers on Ebay for the stock exhaust (only to use the headers), but I'll poke around and see what guys here have...

Update...the dude sold all that stuff out from under me. Classy.
