Summer Days at CHoPBUiLTiNC

Hey Guys, Hope everyone is enjoying summer working hard or hardly working, whatever jive’s for ya’LL at this juncture in life. My Blog is LIFE WITH CHOP, and although i have not always been

active on the Web, i have been busy living the life i set out to live. If you feel inclined, stop by, say  hello; let’s share a story, a kind word, or something interesting. For me it’s that passion to create, and with a little help from my friends, maybe that will continue to be what i have to offer the world. Big or small, my contribution to you all.🙏🏻

BEEN A LONG TIME PEEPS!

I took a few years to see what the hell i wanted to do with my life... well i didn’t quite figure it out but i know what i DONT want to do... Walking away from my creativity and my dreams is a slow and painful death of the soul... stay tuned for things to come...

Indian Larry Build

This is the latest one I'm working on. It's a nice Indian Larry influenced bobber/chopper built off one of his licensed Indian Larry Legacy chassis. We're tossin' a Powerplus 100 motor in it with custom engraved rocker boxes and Indian Larry Legacy pushrod tube keepers. There's a slew of nice aftermarket parts that will make this thing move pretty good down the highway. Stay tuned for more as it gets further along.

These are some of the most recent Indian's    I have done or am in the middle of doing... I was the service manager at Indian Motorcycle Los Angeles West several years ago and I have loyal customers that want only the best. So I try to offer just that!

The first one is actually for a L.A. Choprods associate. It is a chromed out 2002 Chief all rebuilt from the frame up with a fresh 100" Power plus Motor re-built by Bennett's Performance.

The next one is a late model Spirit...

Completely rebuilt due to a cracked frame...

Then the customer just went for it and let me do it right! Bumped the 88 up to a 96"....
-fresh tins; 16' apes on a completely fresh polished Front End; full polish on Primary, Rockers, Rotors, Trans covers, and a slew of various parts. Hand brushed foot controls, calipers, and pulley.

...And here's what she ended up looking like.

BOBBER CHOP'S

H-D BOBBER


This one is based off a '96 FXST...

-Just playing with sheet metal ideas here...starting with a L.A. Choprods- "Pinche Petrol" fuel tank

-2 under tubes with 2'' lower kit

-DNA wheels, fat 21" front/ 18"x 200mm rear(just for mock- not diggin' the red too much)

-blank rear fender remnant makes for a pretty cool look.









-Mid control convertion a MUST! (o.e. H-D)

Latest Projects- Harley Chop's

This is Chris Moore's 2001 Night Train. Did What i like to think is a nice clean chop.

-fat tire
-custom chopped fender with mounts for saddlebags.

-dumped her plenty low

-wrinkle black powder accents/ fork brace

-Lazer Star marker lighting

-Heartlands sidemount

-clean and simple Danny Grey seat








Jae Kim's '96 Softail has a little less aggressive look, but still cool. He needed to be able to mount his luggage racks, sissy bar, and saddlebags. All removable , of course, to get the best of both worlds.

when all was said and done, it ended up with...

-96" S&S motor

-Jim's six speed gear set

-DNA 60 spokewheels(fat 21 with a 180 rear end)in solar black

-mean street forks(4 under)

-one-off sheet metal in a Satin Matte Silver.

-a slew of brushed nickle, black powder, and hand brushed aluminum.

- Lazer Star marker lighting

- mid control conversion


And this is how she looks...
