- Question about building a sinful chopper in the world of V-twins.?
I am about to embark on a sinful procedure in the world of motorcycles. I have a 1980 yamaha XS1100. I am replacing the cams and porting the intake. It should be around 135 hp. I am looking for a company to make me a chopper frame for it. Is there any body that can help me with information or give me any ideas and point me in the right direction. Thanks!
A Its a in-line 4 right? Check out Motorcycle Cruiser mag June 2006. Story is Holy Honda about a 1970 Honda 750 converted to a really cool chopper. Its center fold story they mention the 'go to guys' as the Carter brothers, Paul and John of PJ's cycle in Columbia Kentucky. From what I gather they do chopper style work on non HD rigs and had to make their frame adapt to the Honda. Pictures in the mag tell a better story than this, try looking and see what it does for you. Good Luck!

- Motorcycle classification?
I was riding through town when i spotted a custom motorcycle that i really liked the style of. It looked to have the body of a HD sportster but had ape hangers. It was a single seater and he had his feet forward a little bit, I'm not sure if this style bike really has a class, but i always thought that's what a cafe racer was until i looked one up. PS. I guess in a way it kinda looks like this.. http://motorbike-search-engine.co.uk/Custom/harley_panhead_chopper.jpg small frame, single seat and ape hangers. Hope this helps
A That's a Bobber. A Chopper has a frame that has been cut ("chopped") and welded. A Bobber has a stock frame, remove ("bob") heavy stock parts and maybe add lightweight replacements. A bobber is the minimalist approach to motorcycling.
