Even some of the folks cringing probably swapped forks and swingarms, not so far removed from what a guy does to make a chopper.

I beg to differ.

I switched to a GPz fork because it works better. I've got a GS1100E swingarm that I'll eventually mount up because it works better.

FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION.

When you make a chopper, you're making the bike handle worse, not better. No rear suspension? No front brake? Raked out steering angle? Great way to ruin a bike.

I'm glad the chopper fad is finally dwindling.

You could use a Buell front wheel. They have a rotor that is almost the same size as the wheel so it's less noticeable.
