1980 Chopper Project:
Thanks for a great site. I got all my inspiration for this project here. I picked up a ratty 1980 XS650 Special II and have gotten this far. 4' extended and underbraced swingarm from Marv at Wise-Guys, nice work MARV! Also a battery/elec's box on the way from TCBROS Choppers. Thanks TYLER! Had the rims, hubs, fork lowers and front motor mount powdercoated satin black. Next step is to cut the frame to lower the seat and attach a rear fender to the swingarm so I can slam it 1/4' from the rear tire. I'll be lookin for help with the new wiring harness when the time comes. Anyone looking for powdercoating in the Ma/RI area, call Brad at BROKEN BONZ in Uxbridge,Ma. He was very, very reasonable! I've also included a pic of last winters project, a 1972 R5 resto. Thanks for the inspiration! TJ at espotj@hotmail.com
