    Been building my 74 Shovel Chopper and came to an issue on the front fork. I running a Durfee girder that measure 5 inches between the tubes. I'd like to run a disc brake plus an 80 spoke hub since I picked up an 80 spoke wheel that matches the rear. The rim is laced to a wide glide hub so I'll...

    I have a 77 ironhead chopper, electric start only that needs a battery and i'm struggling to find concise requirements for the bike. the original builder also made a stupid small battery tray so that's making it even harder to find something that will work. so far my understanding is that the...

    Many disagree with this decision, but... a mere six months after my chopper was finished, I am going to re-do it. It's not that I like wasting money, I have just changed my mind. That happens with A.D.D. In order to register my '57 in North Carolina, I had to hand in my New Jersey title. I...

    My chopper is almost complete. Engine break-in will be critical, so I was going to add a bicycle speedometer just to keep track of the initial miles on the bike for that all important first oil change and adjustments. Has anyone ever used one of those on a motorcycle before? Are they accurate...

    Wait?! What!? A long bike from Angry Monkey Motorcycles? Say it isn't so! Yep, it is for real, and it is also a "unit" bike to boot. This client build has been started for over a year but because of frame delays, outside of my realm of control, it is only now starting in earnest. The plan is...
