Choppers Australia

Tom's got the neck ready to receive new frame tubing. There was no way heating up the neck to try and melt the brazing and pull the tubing out was going to work, so he's had a machinist carefully bore out the tubing and then removed any remnants of the brazing by hand. We're just waiting on all the ...

Beautiful Choppers

What a way to end the day!

Yes TriNortchopz we are going to try and get that bend in the downtube as close to the neck casting as possible, hopefully right at the join. Obviously we can't slug it there with a bend nor risk TIG welding that close to the brazing inside the neck casting. So the plan is to bore the remainder of t...

The first picture a couple of days ago was just showing that we had started to cut, not how we planned it to go back together :lol: Here you go, it might make more sense with this picture, with the rear half rolled back into place. So we've got 33 degrees of rake now, and the down tube will have a s...

A high stretched up frame with a long front end was always the plan for this bike, so I'm very happy with where the steering head will end up, and it complies with the law by meeting the 550 rule and we'll end up with a couple of inches of positive trail, so all should be good. I have no option but ...

Great line up of Choppers!

I really dig Kevin's Triumph, wow!

Great pics too, as this will all be very relevant when we chop my Triumph frame to stretch it.

I wonder if it could be the condenser? I had no end of dramas with them on my HD when I had it and went through heaps of them until I found a good one.

Hope you're feeling better mate!

So many sweet Choppers!

Some nice bikes there

I asked the consulting Engineer who is overseeing my chopper project in WA if the welding on the frame had to be done by a certified welder, and he said no. As long as the person doing the work was well experienced with motorcycle frames, we provide detailed pictures of every step of the way, everyt...
