Some places that might inspire a chopper ride.... https://www.your-rv-lifestyle.com/thing ... australia/

Show us what you want to build and we'll watch with interest. Nothing wrong with Viragos by the way. I've chopped a number of them for customers.

Peter's newly purchased machine originates from interstate and therefore needs a number check to be registered in SA. They will check for general adherance to SA Road Rules (can't call it roadworthiness!!!) and the front end looks to be out past our nanny state's Ridikulus550Rool. A phone call and h...

I intended to have this up 3 hours ago, but when I started and got some music going on U tube (Henry Mancini Pink Panther theme) , Rilda joined me and at her request I started finding ballroom dancing clips. She was a very keen ballroom dancer from young, but unfortunately dipped out marrying me as ...

Very nice.

Thanks ES. Proof of the pudding will be in the eating! But sure looking forwards to it.

Says he who just built his own with far less equipment and less experience! Traditional way of building using round stock and and drilled trees is simpler and easier to keep everything square. If anyone is contemplating using oval legs, there's far more measuring to keep everything square and weldin...

Bottom pivots for front legs... Bottom pivots will run the same M16 shoulder screws as the rear legs. Could go back to M12, but will simplify rebushing if it is needed.

The housings are steel, but black. I have temporarily painted them with spray chrome. Will get them chromed when I get my new pipes chromed. I'll put up a couple of better photos of them tomorrow if I can.

Almost double the size of my donk. No wonder!

Time for making the front legs. I am using 22mm OD x 5mm wall hydraulic tube. Wall thickness is a bit of over kill, but used because I want a slight bend near the rockers and a major bend at the spring base and wanted plenty of strength and wall thickness for welding in the tube. DOM would be more a...

Slotted in a Midnight Ride in May the day before I took off for Queensland again to help my son. Promised to be cool but clear, so I expected a few less than for the summer months. As it turned out, two of our regulars were away a grand total of two enthusiastic chopper jocks rolled up. The ride int...
