Whats up everyone. I am starting an official build thread for my new project I am dubbing Purple Haze.
-Frame is/was a 2009ish Schwinn OCC Chopper Stingray
-Engine is a 212cc Honda clone (aka Predator aka Harbor freight engine)
-CVT clutch/transmission
Today I started with stretching the frame. Added 6 1/2" to the top tube and split the down tubes:
Today was its last day of looking like this (next to my real bike):
Pre-chop:
Mock up of the new top tube length:
Plated under the the headtube gusset and added split down tubes:
All welded up, going to clean everything and have it powder coated once all the fab work is done:
Roller:
Still waiting on CVT, sprockets, and twist throttle to arrive.
In the works to make in the near future:
-6" to 8" over springer front end
-7/8" bars
-exhaust with annoying dinging rain flapper
-sissy bar
-foot rests
-lots of other little junk
Well that's it for now boys, what do you think???
