Chiefy's Choppa

Well I figured its time to unveil progress so far.........................




Engine is an '81 shovel bought off EBAY! totally stripped and re-built by your truly. Box is a standard 4 speed Turret top with a 3" Open primary.

Forks are 20" over Tolle and the frame was from Briz at Custom Cycle Developments. Tony at All American has been a wealth of knowledge and source of parts during the build so far, he's currently building the Exhausts. I've changed the 'bars since the photo was taken to ones with a shorter rise.

With only the Final Paint and finish wiring left to go, hopefully be on the road at the start of the next rally season.

Thanks must go to all the Guys and Girls in the HDRCGB who have helped with the build so far, literally I couldn't have done it without you.
