My chopper hey days were the 1970's until a lady in a station wagon pulled out in front of me, injuring me so could no longer ride rigids. But I still ride today with swing arm suspension. These choppers are a great reminder of my 'wild ' days!
I got me a bloody ironhead from 1975. Destroked the old bastard and then put me in a high flow dyna fagasle with a 15:1 compression with high velocity wiseguy forged pustons witha' flippin No Fuss exhaust! Bike is a trip to ride!
I love the look of bikes like this but iv always wondered how they get on tyres road seeing that it’s a 1990 with no indicators or horn if I knew I’d build one
Pre 84 motorcycles don't require MOT's or to pay road tax so my advice would be to get an old bike. Anything else will need all the usual fun stuff like indicators, springs, a horn etc
Building a Harley chopper in the UK must be a fortune. Nice bikes nonetheless. Great job. Repop parts are pretty cheap here in N. America. It would really just be the labour unless you’re doing it all yourself. Harleys are not overly expensive as well.
Looks and sounds awesome thanks for sharing

Looking to build my own, how hard are these to get through an MOT once theyre this modified?

@@DicEMagazineOfficial that's what I've been looking at, I'm guessing this isn't a bike you could build without a friendly MOT place being from 1990?

Right on
How did you paint the tank? Dab it with your ball bag?😂
😂
good lord that front end has no travel
Is that a 4 speed or a 5 speed ?
8 speed
4 speed mate
Nothing special about it. The paint is especially unspecial.
Just cause it aint a one of one, full custom fab bike doesn't mean it aint cool dawg
@@palmtreecorpse Yeah whatever
I agree but it may give some young bucks confidence to try and build their own. The tank paint job looks like a nightmare though 😂
