Chopper Build Series Where to Start

As I prepare to start my chopper build I had to figure out where to start. I explain what I have done to prepare to start my chopper build, how I verified that the frame is designed for a 240 rear tire, how I figured out the stance, and was able to provide the needed measurements to get a custom springer fork ordered.

How long do you expect it to take mate?

I am planning to have it done in time to ride from California to Sturgis 2023.

Hi, I was watching your chopper build but can only find 3 episodes. Have you done any more.. Thanks Paul from Cornwall England

[@JohnDoe-nb4bf]

Yes, we can🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢

[@roadsterman]

I like your shop set up. You must make sure rear and front wheels are centered! The rear wheel could be too wide. The front wheel is easy. Just use a string and stretch it from the front to the middle of the rear tire. Then the engine should be in the frame.

What a nice shop🙂♥️ I think it would be better to fix the tires first, then aligning the engine to make engine mounts

[@MeatballRebel]

Thanks! Tires are old and just for mock up. I have the centerline marked on the frame and the engine mount are already done.

[@Atvracer357]

What are the dimensions on the work table you built?

[@dontjohnson8146]

You just smacked the rim…….right where you said you needed to trim that bracket 😂😂😂😂

[@roadsterman]

The rear wheel. With tire MUST be centered in the frame! Tie a string on the headtock and run it back over the center of the tire. The string must run down the top tube and over the rear wheel. !

How’s it coming along?

[@MeatballRebel]

Slowly as I am busy with other things. I assume you watched the other videos and wheel spacers and brake setup is next.
