#87087 RIPBiker13 (User) You couldn't handle the ride of the Reaper... Expert Boarder Posts: 549 My chopper build 6 Months, 2 Weeks ago   As some of you know I am chopping my Road Star. I have the springer front end all ready, I have all the parts for the new tank and other various components. I'll be putting it in the shop in less then a week where the back bone will be stretched 6in, a Harley neck will go on, and it will be converted to a single down tube frame. This is the thread I will be posting all of my progress. Pics will soon follow, give me a day or two and I'll have something nice to look at. Parts at least.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/05/20 22:14 By RIPBiker13.   His name is Mr. Grim and I am the Grim Rider.

They're such nice bikes from the dealership, I hate to see them cut to pieces, but I like the look when streched and customized. I just don't know if I can handle watching the whole process. Best of luck.   Logged     Great Pumpkin Brad Barnes Secretary, Star Touring & Riding Chapter 221 (Houston) 2005 Midnight Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #87134 Flashback (Moderator) The devil to pay, and no pitch hot Moderator Posts: 4404 Re:My chopper build 6 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Sounds like your ready to go Rip,, as you know, I been looking forward to seeing that springer on there for a while now...have fun man...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #87167 kryinggame (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 164 Re:My chopper build 6 Months, 2 Weeks ago   We've spoken a few times about the chopper thing. I had a Raked Triple Tree installed on my bike. Making turns is very interesting. I'm still kicking the idea of a new front end. But, I have a custom guy that's going to do a stretched tank for me. It'll be in a shape of a tear drop. The problem with stretching the tank is, your seat is not going to fit. I currently have a solo seat on the bike. How do you go about finding a seat that will fit with the stretched tank? Sorry about hijacking your thread.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #87264 cartersta (User) winter antifreeze, send jack daniels Gold Boarder Posts: 975 Re:My chopper build 6 Months, 2 Weeks ago   mite as well R I P into her   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #87269 RIPBiker13 (User) You couldn't handle the ride of the Reaper...

Well for the rest of us peasants that aren't as lucky, how do we decide prior to the stretching of the tank the size of the new seat? Or is that even possible?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #87603 Butter Bean (User) Nothing but the open road is ahead of us all....

Expert Boarder Posts: 549 Re:My chopper build 6 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I'm a peasant too! LOL Only I can budget and save. The seat won't go on until everything else does, no way to measure stuff that doesn't exist yet cause I haven't made it. The tank is 25in long which is a 5in stretch, and the backbone is going out about 6in to make up for the tank. I'm not going to loose any part of my seat due to the tank. When you do this, you don't stretch the frame and make a tank fit, get the tank you want, (as it decides the look of the bike) and make the frame fit. It's the best way imho. The springer: (the green will be black) The tank: (What it WILL look like anyway) The coil/ignition mount: The overall look will be similar to this:   Logged     His name is Mr. Grim and I am the Grim Rider.
