In my not-really-all-that-humble opinion, choppers suck no matter what platform they're based on. But if you're going to build what's essentially a two-wheeled tractor, then the Harley tractor motor is most appropriate.

Chopping a KZ is sacrilege, and is no cooler than chopping a CB.

Sure, I get it, it's still stupid.

If you're going to make a bike with no front brake and no rear suspension, you should probably start with something slightly less likely to kill you, like maybe a KZ250.

the swingarm is from a 2004 gsxr 1000. Yes it is a blast to ride! Also, to timebomb i wear a dale earnhardt jr. jacket so it doesnt matter if it gets rubber all over it:lol: In my opinion, do what you want. I really like the bike i built and didnt sacrifice handling, and i would suggest going this route to anyone.
