chopper

I'm hoping someone can give me an idea what's going on here, I've been searching for a while and come up with nothing. So I just got my chop running and have back making some trips around town and down the road testing out various things before I trust it on a longer run. Well I noticed a few...

Hey guys I'm Nick from northeast ohio. This is my first build. It's a 82SH. I picked it up about a year ago and have been building it since. It's a TCBros hardtail with a pamco/PMA set up. Everything was done by me and my dad. Here's how i got it. Real clean. Almost felt bad for chopping it.

I've rebuilt my carbs (bs38's), gone through all ranges of jets from stock to lowest andI'm 95% sure my rich problem is coming from the damn oring that goes around the emulsion tube. I've ordered the viton mccar master orings everyone suggests, when I went to put them on and put the tube in it...

Hello. think it's time to finally post what i'm trying to create. :) I'm Jerome, and I'm living in Belgium. Been into motorcycles since the day I could ride one. Got my bike licence before my car licence. I've been driving racers and allroaders since. I always, one day, wanted to built a...

2016 Chop Off Build

Hi all. Seems as though every time i even think about registering by bike in Australia is just brings on headache after headache. Everyone i ask always says something different. Should i register my bike then get a modification permit before i cut the end off and weld a hardtail on it...

I was recently talked into getting a bike by some of my close friends and decided to cave in. I traded my old 86 Jeep Comanche project for a 79 XS that is already hardtailed and seems to have had an odd mixture of work done to it by a PO at some point. I'm mostly curious about two different...

picked this thing up last year and ive been working on it on and off between a million other projects. Doing everything myself in my garage/ house because the garage is to dirty.

i bought these too motors the other day for a serious deal but i'm trying to figure out what yr they are? any advice would really help:banghead:

We have a saying over here in the Uk Buses no dont see one for hours then two turn up at once, thats what happened here with the xs I didnt even want one but the economy took a dive and projects seemed to come out off the sheds all over the country on to the Bay of evil. Here in UK even a...

hey guys i am looking to chop out my 81' xj650 and am looking for a springer front end to fit it can anyone guide me in the right direction?

Hey guys what kind of welders are you using? I don't know shit about welding but I have a frame with a hardtail already on it. So I'm not gonna do anything structural. Im thinking of getting a decent welder and practice a bunch and trying to put things on the bike once I get better like the gas...

I have a 1972 XS650 that I am beginning to chop up, I just got a TC Bros Hardtail with a 3 inch stretch. I know my stock chain won't fit it is only 98 links, how do I find out how many links need to be added when buying a new chain? Its my first time ever doing this and this question may have...

I am starting to build my first little chop and here is my story. Since I was a kid I had always wanted a motorcycle of my own. However my mom had always said I would kill myself on it. Well two years ago my car got stolen while I was out of town on vacation. That was the point at which I...

ive been working on a narrow springer build that im about to finish up and thought that i'd share it with you guys. This is my first springer build, but i have been wanting to build on for a long time now. Im not a professional, just a back yard mechanic that is learning as i go. I just...

I posted recently about having pamco problems and didn't get too many questions as we're. Before you ask. Yes I've done all the tests and can't figure out what to do :banghead: I'm trying to avoid spending $80 an hour in a shop on what I assume to be a minor probelm. Is there anybody in the...

Hey Guys, This has probably been covered before but I am not having luck finding the info I am after. I am running a David Bird hard tail with a front 19" mag in the back with original rear disk. I would like to hang the caliper straight down as shown on the picture, this will leave the brake...

I know this is a highly subjective question, but I just got my frame back from a fabricator that put a rigid rear end on my frame and am concerned about the ground clearance. I have owned low riding bikes before, but what would you consider to be a minimum distance between a level frame and the...

Hi everyone, I did some searching and couldn't find a thread covering this. On my bike, I have the stock '72 master cylinder, caliper and brake line. I bought the TC Bros Custom Stainless Braided Brakeline to accomedate new bars and the greater distance between the master cylinder and the...
