This Is My New Custom Chopper!

You know the drill. Click on any image to see a larger view.

The bike is a complete custom built from a basket case consisting of a Chopper Guys Softail frame, spoked rear wheel, rear fender, Chopper Guys ventilated oil bag, 90" stroked shovelhead motor, 4-speed cowpie tranny, custom Corbin snakeskin flame detailed seat and pillion.

The bike was built with Ceriani forks, 180 rear and 100 front Metzeler tires, dual disc GMA brakes front and single disc GMA brake back, GMA controls (brushed billet aluminum), Billet Concepts foot hardware, 3" primary, 1-1/2" final belt.

All the leatherwork, including details of Texas diamondback rattler were done by Spider hisself.

August 1998 through April, 1999, added a Tech Products starter.

Most of the work on the project was done by California Performance Iron of Vallejo, California. I think they did a pretty good job, don't you? I added the starter with the help of Mars Custom Cycle of San Francisco. I've done lots of work on the bike myself as well, including a fuel ratio meter (by Split Second) and a Dial-A-Jet. Now she's easy to tune and very reliable! The Dial-A-Jet system lets me quickly compensate for altitude without using a CV carb.

Did I leave anything out? Well excuuuuuuuuse me!
