headlight needs some adjustment. could use some apehanger handlebars. and some highway pegs.

and some tassles and floorboards - why the hell not haha

 

What about it? Are you saying you have one for sale?

 

i made it in photoshop. i could make the steering hea piece in real life too, just need longer forks.

 

aaah didnt notice that.

 

looks like dick to me. **** choppers, they can be cool but they represent everything i hate in bikes... being SLOW and handling like CRAP.

 

meh.... not for me.

 

I think you're missing some straight-shot pipes!!

 

yeah something would have to be done with the pipe, but this is a zero chrome project. if i were ever to do this, it would be to **** absolutely everyone off, sportbikers, customs, chopper guys, harley guys, etc etc

 

the guys on svrider are thoroughly offended at my idea

My, what a big front wheel you have.

Unfortunately, I think the only people you wouldn't **** off is the scooter crowd.

 

2nd pic looks better than the first one. Needs a fatter rear tire. And a longer swing arm. You already know you're not going to go through with this, so I wont tell you not to do it.

Not all choppers are slow. Well at least not in a strait line, some of those twins make good power.

I think an r1 or hayabusa engine in a chopper would be pretty neat. I'm suprised four cylinder choppers are not more common than they are. I'll hear about one only once in a great while.

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O

the I4's are so wide, they block where your feet are supposed to go when you're ridign a chopper lazy boy style.


apparently i wasnt the first with this idea

 

That front fork looks like it'd snap like a twig under heavy braking.

 

actually, the forks would experience more lateral loading from going over large bumps than from braking.

 

i like the first one...

Depends on how you lay everything out I guess. Inline4 CB750 and KZ choppers were very popular in Europe in the 70's and 80's.

Here's a work in progress. Not mine, but a GSXR1100 chopper:



I'd take one of these over a twin any day.

 

see you cant have your feet out in front of you cause the engine is in the way. its the de facto cruiser poser pose to have your feet out ahead of you. so you can sit back and turn your nose up at the world.

 

I'm sure you could do it, your feet might be splayed out a bit though. Highway pegs would be easy to add on to the frame.

 

i dont think you realize how far out your feet would be.

Not to mention, if your feet are out that far, good luck trying to lean the damn thing in a turn. Oh wait, these things only go in straight lines, right?

 

Yeah you guys are probably right, but like I've said inline four choppers have been around for decades. Here's something I just found on forward controls:

most of the popular choppers in the 70s were hondas yes. for some reason i remember it being mostly a minority (black/hispanic?) thing. but i could be wrong.



what a ******* rat bike, i love it!!!!

 

Does that thing only have a rear brake?? Gotta be ballsy to ride one of those mo'fos...

 

look at how far apart their legs are. not too bad but kind of wierd
