I built a couple choppers and even rode long distance on em, they were kick only, on a rode trip id start em in the morning and leave it running every time i got gas, otherwise u gonna be kicking all day and gets old even if its one kick. One day i bought a StreetGlide and now i have a 23 inch front wheel and its all custom. I like it better then the chopper stuff because you can do custom stuff and still looks cool but its just such a better bike for riding. I never went back.
