Thank very much for posting. I'm really impressed with your chopper project.   :headbang:
You should have your own electric chopper building television show.  I definitely would be a fan.

Ilia, I showed thei thread to a friend at work. He makes custom saddlebags for bikes, and has, if not all, so a lot of the Swedish bikebuilders as customers and/or friends...

He thought it was really cool. And that comes from a guy that has seen some custom bikes in his life.

I myself can't even find words to praise your work...

Just keep up the good work, and please continue posting!! You are an inspiration to a lot of us...

ilia in your post #5 when you show splitting the triple trees you need to make sure that your hold down bolts are as close to the work as possible, the way you show your holding down the step block better than the work

Just think,  one day we'll all be riding things like this.  I'll miss the noise though.

Fascinating project,  well done.
