well i decided to make a thread on my current project which differs from the norm on this site. i had bought someone's failed chopper build which led me to doing this custom build. as the shop was putting the first bike together i kept coming up with ideas to customize the original bike frame and the result was to keep that one original and then just go from the ground up with the tracker idea.
the shop is in humble, texas and is called cutthroat customs which is owned by daniel sanchez. his shop is far removed from the bubblegum chopper shops and is based off of one of custom designs as well as doing car and truck suspensions, which will be my next project with a 74 f100 laying on the ground because i have an addiction to projects..lol..
the idea behind my bike is a modern take on the old board tracker racing bikes. the front and rear wheel are going to be matching 21" wheels and the drivetrain came from a 99 sportster 1200 that had 1600 miles on it. we estimate the bike to way in around 350 lbs, give or take. this thread is also going to serve as a sounding board for the ideas that i currently have and to assist in the color scheme. currently i am leaning towards softer colors using a bone white for the main color with the accents being creme and the bike will also have leather accents done in a patina brown with brass buckles. well enough talking, check out the pictures and i will be updating this as the bike progresses.
the wheels now are just mock up
i will post more pictures today, i am heading over there now and i will get shots of the more detailed pieces. feel free to tell me what ya'll think:beer:
