Chopper of the Month March Entry's

Chopper of the Month entry's for March 2009.

We only have room for 25 bikes per month so it's first come first serve. To enter, post pictures of your ride here on this thread along with a little info on the bike, like specs or any mods you have done. Once we have enough scooters we'll take a vote and see who rides away with Chopper of the Month honors!

Rules are as follows:
You need to have the pics of your ride in your gallery here on Club Chopper. I CAN NOT repost pictures that have been entered by attaching it to the post! You can also link pictures hosted else where on the net by using [IMG][/IMG] tags but we prefer you have the pictures in your gallery. Makes things easier...

You must currently own the bike you are entering and you must be a Club Chopper member. Which means you can't just throw a bike in there that you found on the Internet! You can't enter motorcycles that you no longer own. You also can't enter bikes for your buddies, neighbors or whomever. If they want to enter their bikes, they must sign up to Club Chopper and join the family. The motorcycle you are entering must also be your personal ride. To the Pro-bike builders, this can't be a motorcycle that you built for a customer or your company built to turn around and sell. The bike must be completed and be able to ride. This must be your personal ride!

The winner will have their bike featured here on Club Chopper and will have their bike posted to the Club Chopper banner above. The winning bike will also be automatically entered for Club Choppers Chopper of the Year come next December.

For those that would like to post a picture but your not sure how, check the following link.

I'm thinking this is gonna be my vote.........Just becuase I've been following this build......Pretty damn impressive. I'm still waiting to see the you tube video where you get launched through the roof of the garage when you air that bike up.

I like the garage engineering, would like to see pics of it aired up, looks like it would be high in the back.

04zx6r · #12 (**permalink**) 03-17-2009, 07:51 PM

Not so much high, just long looking in the rear, check the vid I posted a few posts up, you can see it aired up there.

I thought so as well. Still bad ass though. Wonder how different the rear would look if you could have hinged the rear swing arm towards the center as opposed to the bottom much like a Softail? I'm sure that would have reduced the amount that the upper portion moves away from the seat but it might not have let it sit down properly when aired down.
