Hows about some pics of Sporty chops?

[JamesG]

Wondering what one might look like. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Define "Sporty"...

Or look at a 60s Volvo P1800.
They look factory chopped and are sporty.

I second that motion! I've got a good running ironhead motor with nowhere to go with it. I'm just gonna wait until I stumble onto something at a swap meet or something. I'd love some inspirational pictures of sporty choppers. Brad http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Hey recycler did we hang out at Bakersfield a couple years back?? My memory for names is just crap but I thought it was you who went to Squeek Bells place in my Caddy with us..

Here's little brothers Sporty.

Ran high 12's at Long Beach after a modest build-up after he came back from Vietnam.
In fact, it was his "drag racer".
Then he built a 37 Olds coupe, got it to the almost running stage with a 455 Olds, but sold it to go for the lighter weight Henry J.
Which he still has.

Anyhow, the Sporty is apart right now and he's sticking a stroker kit in it along with some other changes.
Should be 80" plus when he's done.

I had a pic of one that had a white bates seat and mooneyes on the tank. It was more bobber than chopper and cool as hell. I loved that bike but when the last computer crashed it was on the hard drive and now is stuck in the cyberspcae junkyard. That thing was so damn smooth http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Hey RATBOY! you've got a good memory! That was me. That was a very fun evening. I haven't been back to Bfield since but I plan on going this fall. Still have the caddy? Brad

[hightest]

Jaker - is that a factory mag wheel on the rear? That looks really cool!

Here's my old ironhead sportster...

[Bass]

This is one of the best looking chopped Sportsters I've seen. These pics are from that greasykulture link above. Some guy named Bill built it...it rocks.

here is mine.

[Dan]

question - my sporty has a narrow glide, what exactly do I need to convert it to a wide glide (using my forks)?

[scrapmetalart]

Dan, you need wide triple trees, longer axle, &amp; wheel spacers.

[Dan]

cool, thanks for the info, anyone have any of those parts they want to get rid of, and while I'm at how about an S&amp;S for a '70 with a magneto http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[scrapmetalart]

Here is the one I'm putting together now. It has a ford spare tire cover rear fender, full moons on the rear wheel, &amp; a tuck &amp; roll seat. The wheels will be apple green. The oil tank will be made with '32 V8 hubcaps.
