That is the inspiration for the future. THAT is a nice bike. That is a clean, gorgeous ride. Not all that crappy chromed out, raked, stretched, $30K + crap. Flat black, all black, and suicide or jockey shift :)
Very clean machine! My compliments to the builder. This is a real motorcycle, not some over-chromed trailer queen like I see at the bike shows. Thanks for the look.
the only thing on it that's "OEM" is the motor, and even that you can pick up pretty cheap as a basket. That's what choppers are all about! Building sweet stuff on the cheap.
Japanese builders really do have a sense of style. Minimal, I love the all black, Calvin Clein-"less is more." Its seems like out of a futuristic remake of the "Good Bad and the Ugly"
BEAUTIFUL, MAN!!! CONGRATULATIONS.... IT´S A NICE CHOPPER. WE HAVE A "OLD SCHOOL PANHEAD CHOPPER" TOO... LET´S SEE THE MOVIE, AND ENJOY! WELCOME. THANKS, BORGES(Brazil)
What would be real cool is if you could put a front brake on, but have it actuated by the foot control for the back brake. So when you press on foot lever both front and back brake stop the bike. I like my life, I had a chopper with no front brake, and will tell you that its nice to have a front brake. When that 17 year old girl on the cell phone, or 95 year old guy pulls infront of you.
@1pollo1rabbit i full heartedly agree every old school chopper vid i watch is japanese dude every american one i see is either a bike that longer than a school bus and has a fat back tire or a crotch rocket
@gwatson101 Oh cool, really? Hey, out cursiosity, do you know where I could find the specs for a build like this? I would REALLY like to some day build something like this. Would appreciate it! thanks!
Would've gone with stock tank, the one on there looks way too small for the frame, also he handlebars aren't my first choice, but love the full black. Oh, and why is there a lot of Japanese vids of Panheads on RU-vid, do they have like a shit load just lying around over there or something?
sometimes less is just less. Needs a splash of color here and there. Maybe just a couple spots of chrome. As is it looks like a high school kid sprayed the whole thing black with a can of spray paint.
Only problem with designs of bikes like this one is the gas tank. I know this is known as a peanut tank, but always looks like it was just thrown on the frame as an afterthought. Otherwise, cool bike.
mean looking indeed lol. Looks fucking evil, and not (only) because of its color. For some reason, to me, it looks like a steampunk chopper. (before I receive any rage, I want y'all to know I'm no expert on bikes)
A real chopper with just what you need, clean & skinny not that fatass OCC funny looking bikes... just like this dude 1pollo1rabbit already said about the OCC bikes... This bike rules!!! Peace from Holland.
