Paul's Sturgis Chop "04"

Here are the pics for the Chopper-X prototype. It is based on our PB2-CHX
frame.  Paul raised the ride height .750" and it has a 48 degree rake with 6
inches of up-stretch and a 2 inch forward stretch. Add a set of our 6
degree triple trees and +16 tubes to the Deuce fork and this becomes one long
chopper!

All the sheet metal is one-off starting with a fantastic new
Zombie tank which fits this super radical frame perfectly. The new billet
Ali-Baba oil bag has a great retro feel and matches our other Ali-Baba products such
as Grips/ Pegs/ Risers/ Points and Derby covers to name a few. The rear
fender was stretched over a 250 tire and then scalloped and has some
really cool 3-D metal work done on the tips. The front fender has been left off
for that nostalgic chopper feel but a drilled tweak bar has been installed to
keep that long fork stiff and responsive.

The handmade Z-bars have more pullback than our standard off the shelf parts and they have some really radical bends to them. The seat features side pockets and a butt crack molding. The new PYO GT billet wheels are bad ass and are set up for a custom RC Comp Driveside brake kit to match the GT wheels 18 x 8.5 rear and a 21 out front. They even have these really bitchen wavy rotors and a matching billet rear pulley. The new pipes are our "Skirt Blowers" w/ optional velocity stack tips. The TC-88 engine has been punched out to 95 cu inches and the cylinders have been powder coated black to give the engine a nostalgic look. The entire bike has received a Zinc Nitrate plating and then brushed effect that totally sets off the metallic gun metal paint that Paul flattened to achieve a truly antique look. Then Ron "Superman" Hernandez pulled out his cape and did an amazing striping job on this completely one-off creation, to truly make this unique chopper one of a kind.
