Choppers Australia

Yeah nice idea guys, that's definitely something worth considering. Thanks for taking the time to sketch that up Prof.

Great to see the Chopper back up and running again.

A note on tyre pressures, on our rigids we're running down around 16psi to try and soak up some of the bumps and irregularity in the roads.

Great info Prof

Any more progress on this one Prof?

Not much else to do during WA's weekend COVID lockdown, so I played cardboard mockups :lol: I really want to do a Crazy Frank inspired rear fender (not a copy), but suited to a rigid with a solo seat, instead of the king/queen swing arm setup we're used to seeing. So out with the cardboard and I thi...

No not really. I ordered a taillight as well and express shipping, and the whole lot to my door was $250. So the fender alone if you're not in a hurry with freight would be less than $200. This is a 5" wide fender, but they also do a 6" wide as well: http://www.tcbroschoppers.com/tc-bros-b...

You have been busy!

I picked up the bike from Tom at Sideshow Cycle yesterday and brought it home, and I'm blown away by how well the gas tank has turned out. The shape is perfect, and how well it fits the frame and covers the cross tube is just amazing. So far at every step with this bike, things are working out and l...

Very cool!!

Next up it's putting the tank all back together. Tom has fabricated a new deeper tunnel, and smaller base (the sides of the tank narrow in more and more the deeper you go). You can see the original hidden tank mounts and fuel bung scavenged from the old tank base. Then the tunnel/base are cut to acc...
