Jene Chopper

I really dig Shovelheads. This one is no exception. From Jene Chopper in Japan.

Brats Style Japan



Subtle, tasteful, but highly modified changes to Sportster make this one of my favorite swing arm bikes. The Japanese have a great eye for choppers and custom motorcycles.

One piece at a time

Gas tank with cracked rear mount is off, seat with a crack near one of the seat spring bolts is off, rear fender and fender struts off. Its getting there.

Tank Wilson's Swingarm Sporty

From the Jockey Journal. Tank Wilson's Sporty makeover. Showing that attention to detail can turn a stock swingarm Sportster into a cool chopper. Tastefully done.

Mags

I picked up a set of HD mags from my amigo Fredo. 19" front and 16" rear. The stock 21" spoked wheel is coming off and so is the solid Fatboy rear wheel that HD put on their "custom" Sportys.

Dirty Zees

I need a new headlight, the Z Bars I made are going up on the wall. The triple trees need to be polished or powdercoated but it all needs cleaned up.

Slippery Seat

For the makeover I need to do something with this seat. I'm thinking I just need to strip it down, add a little heat, and give it an lift towards the rear end. New cover and foam, the name Duane Ballard customs keeps popping into my dome...but I'm not that close yet.
