    Ok,..in my almost 50 years of biking and building Choppers I have never mounted the rear-fender as you just did. In my opinion only the other way around works and cut to length gives the mean look of a Chopper. A true Chopper starts with rubber in the Front and ends with rubber in the Rear 👍🏻✊🏻🇺🇸

      @@danielroddenberry I suggest anyone that wants to do this should first put some struts on your sporty and ride it around for a month. Trust me you will regret it when your 55 and got no back left to ride.Or like after your first ride and your b1tch will say no more. If you still want to do it get a smaller wheel with a big fucking tire and run 5to10pound like all the classic choppers did and consider a good quality sprung seat. way to ruin a nice sporty surely It don't cost much more to buy a whole frame so you can go back and cheaper still buy someone else's because there will be plenty out there because no one wants them. Better off with a seperate bike to ride around the block consider you won't be riding to fast anywhere. You can do a great sprung tail chopper too your b1tch wont whining about her sore twot when get to the bikeshow..

      did you mean VOES? it's a vacuum operated switch that tells the ignition system when to advance the timing. pretty important.
      some aftermarket ignition systems have advance built into the programming, and they will specify if VOES should be removed.
