Yet another fantastic build! This bike hearkens back to machines which were featured in Big Bike magazine and Choppers magazine. Keep up the great work!
@@houseofchoppers -- I wish I still had my original copies of Choppers magazine (when Roth still ran it) and Big Bike magazine. In the 1960s, chopper styling remained fairly level-headed until Fonda and Hopper's little motorcycle movie hit the big screen. The only thing that I cautioned other builder/riders about was the use of screw on fork extenders ("slugs") to lengthen the stock factory fork tubes. That was before some guy in Chicago started manufacturing one-piece extended fork tubes for Sportsters. I think that guy was Barney Cagle (or Coogle). That same guy ended up fabricating the extended fork tubes for Fonda and Hopper's choppers. Following "Easy Rider," bikes started becoming more and more radical. I never got into the early 1970s chopper scene. The post "Easy Rider" chopper craze gave us radically-raked frames, overly-long springer forks, smaller section wheels/tires which would "basketball" down the road or get swallowed by potholes, no front brakes, gold anodizing gone amok, pointed hardware (pike nuts) and crushed velvet seats. Here's some advice which was imparted to me from a custom car/bike "sage" (Ed Roth) -- "If your forks are longer than six inches over factory length, then take them off and put on shorter extensions or stock fork tubes and then go out and have some fun with the bike." I still follow that line of thought. Build right. Ride safe. Stay tuned -- W
You defiantly build some kick-ass-looking bikes. True ole skool custom choppers. Truly beautiful work of art. Wizard sure does look like he's ready to ride that machine.
Yeah actually true to form for the period but your pillion passenger is gonna have a cooked calf muscle 2 mile down the road. You obviously plan on carrying one otherwise you wouldn't have put pegs on. You can have an aesthetically pleasing rear cylinder up-swept pipe or carry a pillion but you can't have both.
If the passenger were to wear low top shoes it could be an issue. The peg does stick out more than it seems though. With some hightops on she will be smooth sailing! Thanks for watching
That was a different chassis thats still sitting around the shop. I did borrow the front end off this bike when I was mocking everything up to see where a stock length springer would put me though!
Guys I don't think you have put out 1 bike I wouldn't be proud to ride. Coz I ride them .tear mine down everytime it's ugliest in pack bring it back to best. But like I said you do very nice work. If I ever have too much cash you can build me pan or knuckle I ride 72 FLH with apes I love it have great life

@@houseofchoppers I wish I still had all of the chopper magazines I once had… I had almost all of the chopper magazines from 1971 thru 1974…
I think this bike is probably my favorite on your channel… that I seen that is… thanks buddy..

I seen this bike at born free 12. Took a picture of it. Love the paint! Nice work!
Glad you got to see it in person! Thanks for watching Frankie!
Looks rad! Split the rocker boxes!
This would have been a killer bike to do that on! Next shovelhead im game for that!
Wow! Another stunning built. Not everyone can achieve both, a show bike that you can ride safely. Job well done congrats.
Thanks alot man! Much appreciated!
That shiny brass really pops and looks quite cool.

SSSWEEEET,, AWESOME 👍☠️☠️👍
Nice but gas tank is a little small for that build.
GODDAMN! YOU HAVE THE MAGIC TOUCH! I WOULD HAVE TO SELL A CAR JUST TO HAVE YOU BUILD A BIKE FOR ME
SELL SELL!!!
Nice plumbing!,gas tank fer show? Beautiful machine. Well done. ride hard and free.
Thank you! Keep the gas tanks small so when your butt gets sore after 50 miles you have a reason to pull over hahah. Thanks for watching
@@houseofchoppers glad you got the humor.
Fitting a Pan inner and outer primary on my 67 got the same gearbox how did you get over the problems thanks Paul 🙏🏻
So nice!!!!!
Thanks!!
Should have angled the Pipes l ok were for safety to possible passenger! Everything else is trick!👍

Yah hopefully she has some 12 hole boots, be a nice leg warmer on a cold ride though. Thanks!
Damn
I hope i am not nitpicking, but how does that high exhaust pipe affect the passenger's right leg?
If the passenger were to wear low top shoes it could be an issue. The peg does stick out more than it seems though. With some hightops on she will be smooth sailing! Thanks for watching
Was this bike originally going to be the People's choice bike that you're building back in December 2020 that you never showed finished!?
That was a different chassis thats still sitting around the shop. I did borrow the front end off this bike when I was mocking everything up to see where a stock length springer would put me though!
The bar is fucking sick outlaw bar that my type git er done

Thanks alot man! Same to you!
Simi no girl I know will fit on that seat.
Yah she fits perfect, I actually made the seat pan to fit the owners girl. Its the right size for her but not one size fits all haha
Lol. You mean can't fit big mamas.
Прелесть!
