mmm shiney



All of its 127ci (2.1litre) glory - just need to wait for it to arrive from the US now.....

140 rwhp, 140lbft

Thought it was a little different being black nickel plate - stealth custom here we come!

very nice, what sort of bike you going to be building? any designs yet?

mmmmm propper choper !! There is just somthing wrong about the choppers over here with a jap 4.

What Trans' are you going to use ?

Flak...... you make me jealous with all those pretty engines. I hope to build engine like you one day.

Is this going to have a nice build log with lots of pictures like the duratec build? ...... please ......

A 2.1 in a bike? has this been done before???

As you can tell, i know nothing about bikes...

Hey Flak do you build choppers ?

I have some ideas

Talking to some custom frame builders at the moment.

Transmission will be 6 speed left side drive (ok for up to a 280 tyre with primary offset)

Going to run a 240 rear and 140 front tyre. I want it to handle reasonably well as it will have enough grunt to get a shift on!

35 deg rake

3.25" open primary.

+4" forks to move the neck up and give it a proper custom stance without the massive rake.

Yes and bigger im sure there have been bigger too

My brother is into choppers , we were thinking about importing them. He lives Texas and they are easy to get hold of, and parts are ridiculously cheap compared to here.

Thats a lovely engine, my brother has a contact for chromed sidedraught Dellortos at very reasonable money if your interested.


Heres his bike.

A recent shoot for some calendar apparently

Thes are better, can see the carb.

My brother runs a decent orange chop in Texas and also a Heritage Softtail...

Straight flat roads suit the chop.

So yes they look great, but not for damp UK.


Big cubes check this out....

I am talking about handling relatively

Superbikes do nothing for me at all....

As long as you keep the rake sensible they can be fun on the twisties as well.

Your right,

I drive a Lada Niva.....


Its not for the handling and looks believe me.



I have a saying "Different is good"


Chops are the dogs nuts in design and individuality, they are not superbikes thats why Mr Rossi isnt riding one in Moto GP.

Performance yes, but you just think more about it before applying it.

Make sure you post some pics of it...
