Guys . . . I love this site. I completely agree about the whole chopper thing. Working Class--I asked about a handlebar speedometer in another post and you pointed me to one of yours. Well, I hate to tell ya, but I went to a salvage yard today and got one for ten bucks. That's what a chop's all about though, right? That salvage yard was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.
Me and my roommate are working on an '81 Yamaha 750 right now. Okay, technically it's not a chopper, but more of a bobber (I haven't learned to weld yet, but I'm working on it). We tackled the speedo, headlight, handlebars, and grips today. Next on the list is doing something with all the friggin wiring that was hidden in the headlight, getting new controls, making a new seat, getting rid of the airbox, remounting the ignition, remounting the battery (which is gonna be bloody hard), lowering the rear end, and doing some forward controls. We also need to change the exhaust but haven't really come up with anything for that yet. I'll post some pics of the Virago project as soon as I can (well, if any of you care to see it).
Man I love motorcycles . . .
