+9 rake to 36 Deg
Hardtail


TC Bros Forward Controls, battery box, electric box, Mustang tank.
FIrst Chopper I ever built, learned to weld building this bike
cut off Stock mufflers and welded in SS tube for exhaust.
Still need to get a rear wheel laced and mounted, then paintr and powder coat. But..
until then ride it like I stole it.

Good:
Cool handlebars.
I’ve always liked long pipes.
Bad:
Rear fender and gas tank are way too fat for the bike.
Rear fender looks like it’s eating the tire.
Mis-matched rims?
Headlight doesn’t match.
Michigan plate.
LoL Go Bucks!
