This Honda chopper is a product of a vision I had been carrying in my head for 20 years, a chopper that handles. Through out that time, many days were spent scouring the bowels of Los Angeles for artifacts of the 70s' chopper craze. A Santee frame, and a Durfee girder, promised the stance I was after. An 18" CB750 rear wheel, and an 21" SL125 front, keep things narrow. Frame hugging merged headers help maintain cornering clearance. Rather than hiding electrical components in sheet metal boxes, brackets where fabricated to mount the necessary parts tight to the motor. When the smoke
finally settled, the bike was stripped down, and sent to Andrews Powder
Coating for some shine. Aldos' Auto Upholstery whipped up a fender hugging
seat. The old chrome was touched up with an Eastwood plating kit, and everything
was bolted back together with chrome, and stainless, hardware. The end
result is a collection of vintage parts, with a durable finish, that begs
to be ridden.
