The drag bars look great, I like the low profile look though so I'm biased as hell.

Man a set of drag bars would look absolutely killer on that bike! I really dig the springer front end. If it didn't fight you every step of the way then it wouldn't be a chopper...

I am stoked that you posted this video; there are no pics or instructions for installing the stay rod, ( as per Chris @ TCBros), so seeing your video showing how you installed yours just made my day.

Pro tip: put the brake fluid back in from the bottom with a pump.... once the master cylinder has fluid, you're good. No more bleeding brakes.

That springer looks bad ass. I have always love the mechanical look of a springer. For me I like the apes better than the drag bars, at least on this bike. Really looks like someone along the way did some half ass work on this thing. Good to see you getting it worked out.

In order to be a chopper, either the neck has to be cut and raked or the frame has to be hard tailed. If the frame is originally built as a hardtail and the neck is raked from the beginning, it isn't "chopped" and therefore, it isn't a chopper.

Put a fat tire on the front it'll be a bobber. Skinny tire and its a choppah. 👍 Also, stainless braided brake lines would look sick and feel much nicer for braking. Might be spendy but well worth the investment imo. I like the drag bar look more myself but the mini apes are decent as well. 👍

If the rake on the front end is increased, or manufactured over the stock rake on the front end then you have a chopper. Bobber design is to make a stock bike faster, chopper design is to make it cooler. That bike looks sweet with those short bars, I would never throw big gape hangers( they really make someone look like a gaping asshole)

Everybody throws that bobber word around way too easy . Here's the real definition of bobber from a old biker who has had many bobber and one chopper .if the back fender is bobbed but the front fork is factory rake ,untouched its a Bobber if the neck has been cut and raked its a fu...ing chopper cause it's been chopped,every one should know that if ya don't, well now ya do !
