Bandit/Sturgis 2005 Chop

We're starting another project at Bikernet, the Ultimate Chopper. I dediced that title was bullshit. I look at some of the bikes built nowaday and mine pale by comparison, so screw it. It's the Bandit/Sturgis 2005 Chop. It's been a couple of years since I built a bike for myself. Hell, I can't ride the

Amazing Shrunken FXR 13

I've learned a lot about building handmade exhaust systems for the last couple of months. I flat screwed up the first tech on tools, but returned to Home Depot, found the correct parts and went back to work. I picked up a couple of 4-inch C-clamps, and the proper diameter goofball plumbing clamp. I'm still

Sturgis Chops Project-3

We've developed a working relationship with S&S, and I was concerned about the 105-inch Shovelhead Richard Kranzler scored for my Sturgis Chop project. His motorcycle ran like a raped-ape, but the 105 tore the livin' shit out of his old school chassis. The mirrors became frisbies, the footpegs vibrated lose and ditched him at 125

Hard Brake Lines At Home

Bandit/Sturgis 2005 Chop 2

Illustration by Tim Conder. I'm attempting to build the ultimate handling chopper. It's not designed to be a show winning, bitchin looking, artistic masterpiece. I'm going another direction, attempting to build a righteous, old school, performance, handling, and reliable machine. No, it's not a Martin Bros job, and from an artistic standpoint I believe they

Unleashing The Doo-Rag Tech

DO THE DOO I'll admit it, I've been writing tech tips for three years and I'm running thin on new interesting topics that aren't too esoteric. In the attempt to elaborate tech topics, I've even stretched my vocabulary to include the mind numbing word “circumlocution,” Which, by the way, created quite a debate among the

This is Big Boar's custom battery of choice. It's capable of providing 350 Cold Cranking Amps in a relatively small package. The coolest bikes have always been the stripped down. Whether stock or custom, the less crap the better. So long as the engines weren't too big, or you were running a kick-starter, you could

Lucky Devil 2:

Little Pia in the Devil's workshop. It's a Thursday night after a harried day of grappling with the news. I'm pissed and waiting impatiently for a glass of Jack and a single ice cube. The phone rang and hot breath and a wispy evil tone shattered my melancholy mood. “Where's the second segment on our
