Author Message   Bclark Posted on Saturday, August 11, 2007 - 11:07 am:        I used to lurk around here a while back, but haven't posted in a long time. Here's a pic of my little chopper built from a 2000 M2 and a wrecked '97 S2. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f313/bclark281/b ike047.jpg I'm also picking this up this afternon. It's #31 of 800. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f313/bclark281/u ntitled.jpg   Xbrad9r Posted on Saturday, August 11, 2007 - 12:52 pm:        Two great bikes... i love the bobber style in the first pic. congrats on your new arrival as well and welcome back   Ft_bstrd Posted on Saturday, August 11, 2007 - 02:22 pm:        Brad, Your chopper is awesome! I hate the stretched out springer type that the OCC a$$clowns build. They are bad copies of someone else's work. I don't think welding bullets on your down tubes is particularly innovative. I love the low short drag bike style choppers. I LOVE the stuff that comes out of Exile Choppers. Yours is the perfect combination of simplicity and angry purpose. LOVE IT! One day, I hope to have one like that. Bravo! Oh, and welcome to BadWeb! I look forward to reading your posts!   Bclark Posted on Saturday, August 11, 2007 - 05:42 pm:        Thanks for the positive comments and nice welcome. If anyone is interested, here's a few more pics of the custom. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f313/bclark281/b ike048.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f313/bclark281/b ike050.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f313/bclark281/b ike051.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f313/bclark281/b ike052.jpg   Firemanjim Posted on Saturday, August 11, 2007 - 06:36 pm:        Nice,who did the bars?   Slaughter Posted on Saturday, August 11, 2007 - 06:36 pm:        I gotta admit to liking the minimalist, classic chopped bikes. Clean.   Leftcoastal Posted on Saturday, August 11, 2007 - 09:24 pm:        NICE! Damn - that thing must just freakin' BLAT with that set of pipes!   Bclark Posted on Sunday, August 12, 2007 - 10:51 am:        The bars are made by Pro-Tec and I found them on Ebay. I like the minimalist approach, too. I kinda had 2 goals in mind when I started building it. I wanted to do it as inexpensive as possible, but still try to make it cool and wanted it to be bare-bones and functional. If it doesn't need it, it doesn't have it. I started with a basket case '97 and ended up parting it out and doubling my money. I then found a '2000 M2 for the right price and sold the extra stuff and kept the motor. I made all my money back on that one. After it was all said and done, I only have about $3200 out of my pocket in the whole build. I'm pretty stoked on it.   Ft_bstrd Posted on Sunday, August 12, 2007 - 03:02 pm:        Can I commission a duplicate?   Mikej Posted on Monday, August 13, 2007 - 09:21 am:        What or who's frame is that? Doesn't look like a Paughco.   Bclark Posted on Tuesday, August 14, 2007 - 01:01 am:        The frame is a one-off built by a shop somewhere in Indiana. I bought it from a guy who had started the build but got in a bind. I would love to build another one sometime.
