I recently finished this Chopper. Its my third chopper from this series. I lengthened the forks with some polished aluminum tubing, added some rake and removed some of the mounting lugs from the frame to clean it up some. I mildy reshaped the tank and lowered it as much as possible. I built some new pipes wrapped them in heat tape. I scratchbuilt a new seat. The paint is Testors laquer Dark Cherry Pearl. I used a skull from the parts box for the tailights. I wanted a clean low look.

Clean & low. Yup, that sums it up! That's a great looking bike. Color, rake, tank, shifter - everything comes together so well. Nice job!

Niiice, I like the "modern" stretch look, you nailed that one!
