simple 73 Chop
- 13
Just finishing up this ’73 650. I wanted it to be a pretty basic traditional looking chopper. Nothing too crazy, just simple. Whatever it needs to get down the road, nothing else. Scratchbuilt hardtail stretched 4 inches over stock lowered maybe an inch or two. Stock 18 back wheel with a firestone tire and 21 front from a dirtbike. Old sportster tank with flames over the crusty paint.
Narrowed Biltwell z bars, cheap leather seat, pipes kicked up to give it a little attitude. Rear fender and mount is the stock front fender, thought it was cool why not keep it. So, there you go, nothing too crazy just a simple two wheel freedom machine…

Tell me what you did for you front rim? I love the classic styling!
cool little machine, cheap, easy, the best!
Pipes that aren’t going to spew shit all over you and your chop… imagine that? Clean, simple, sweet. I’m diggin’ it.
….and the background for your pics? Niiiiice. GRAFFITI IS ART!!!
I use to hate those style bars… but the more I see them, the more I can’t wait to get my own!
tell me how you did that pedal kicker?? NICE bike
Nice bike
where did you get the seat, i want brown for mine too.
Nice ride. Clean and simple. Love the small drum brake up front.
And where did u get that pedal kicker?!?
cool kicker
oh and is that a 4.50-18 tire out back?
come on done leave us hanging here on how you did that kicker
Hey, thanks a lot for the compliments. Yeah the tire is a 4.50-18. The kicker is just an old brass harley style pedal off ebay. Cut the end off the stock kicker and welded a bolt on for that pedal.The seat is an egay special too. I can’t take credit for the pictures, thanks for those chuck and thanks to russell’s speed shop in birmingham, al for their killer graffiti wall…
Enjoy, nice ride.
Great looking! What is your 21 off of? What did you have to do to get it on there?
