Rob’s chop
- 6 Comment
Finally bought this chop from my mate Alan. He bought the bike in 1994 and has put about 3000 miles on it. The tank needs striping and a new paint job as i’m not very keen on Alan’s handpainted stars and stripes.The first things to go where the skull handlebar ends,mirror,headlight peak and a weird alarm. Next to go will be the front mudguard and all the stickers. Battery is going on charge tomorrow ,fresh petrol and it should start. Just need’s a new front tyre for the mot.
It’s…uh…groovy. lol It’s great. It will look even better once you’ve made the changes you have planned.
Curious as to the six-pointed stars. At first I thought there were seven points, making a “Captain Australia” bike… and not our American five-pointed stars either. It looks a little odd.
Certainly not the worst Captain America copy I’ve seen, tho.
Have fun!
Six pointed stars lol
Captain Israel? lol
I love the american flag paint and this bike is not even in the USA huh?
I am saluting as I type.
No front brake, internal throttle, and jockey shift would make this sucker a real 60’s machine!
Good luck!
did you check that tank for a tube of money? looks pretty close to the real thing ha ha!
Way to pay attention to the detail Teebs. Six pointed stars lol
This XS should turn out sick. I love the long grinder look.
Thanks for the comments guys , the bikes now in bits i was’ent going to strip it but i found a few nasty’s so i thought take it apart. cheers Rob
