Hey Bros! Just bought my first chopper project. It is a pro street rigid frame of unknown manufacturer. When I bought it the previous owner said it was a 2005 Ultra Ground Pounder but after talking to the guys at Ultra they say no way. The winters are long here in Northern New York so I will have the time to finish it. I will be posting pics of the process. Dont know much so you all will probably see many posts from me asking questions. Look forward to hearing all your inputs. Ride safe!!

hi, 1st thing before you start. look at all the welds very closely for cracks etc and any alterations that were done. If you think anything is questionable post pics here and ask for advice.

Thanks guys. My plan is to sandblast it and then have the welds NDT inspected before powdercoating. I have had a few guys look at it and they all say it seems like a professional built frame (not homemade). I have spent countless hours on the internet and sending pics of it to different manufacturers that say they might be able to help but havent gotten any ideas yet. Here are a few pics of what I am starting with.
