Wow,..I guess the fad is over.

I remember lusting after those CB-750 kit choppers back in the early 70's. I missed the Big Dog, OCC, etc bikes that the "fad" buyers might have gotten into. Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate those bikes. If you've got the coin... They sure did depreciate! I finally gained entry with a '72 Ironhead. She's a bitch to ride...but I'll get things figured out. 42 year worth of "the disease" will do that to you.

Gypse! Man I still show your FXR to people when they ask me about a sick one lol.

Glad to see (Re-read thread) you all are around still sorta. lol.

Shoulda sent you a message chopperfugger Cindy and I were near Austin a few months ago. We were heading to Houston and stayed in Sugarland (This place is BEAUTIFUL!!)

Hope everyone is well.

I'm still riding my cfl chopper @ 61 years old! when I go places I get the looks of what is that cause they all got dressers and then all the stupid questions start cause the ones that no don't ask or say nice chop the others only just bought their 1st dresser in their 50's so they became a biker later in life..yep chopper craze is sorta done but it will always be in my life choppers are still around just no one riding them.

[Spade115]

you know I still look at stretched/raked choppers and wish I had tried one out but glad I got my FXr. lol

I send people to my buddies shop telling them, he modified the frame (made the triangle larger) and split the trans from the motor to make it a "Big Sporty"

He gets a laugh out of it.

you would be surprised how many people go by for the "mod"

Hell yeah, that's super cool! They don't call them "CFL's" for nothing right??? Have you posted pics of your bike?

[choppertime]

Yo Spade
Yes next time stop by - you did the right thing with that bike - it's coming along - we can go eat Tex-Mex-Polynesian at Hula Hut

I still have & ride my '04 TX Chopper. Sorta like owning a classic now since I've had it for 12 years. I haven't caved in to the Street Glide faze like everyone else. lol

I'll be finishing my Ironhead resto pretty soon.

Went through this bike 100% starting with the crank. This is pretty much a new bike. My first street bike was a 1976 Sportster and I have one again.

I would add that the build quality on this one is several orders of magnitude higher than the first one you had...lookin' good RW!
