I built my first chopper in 1971. Hard to believe it was 35 years ago. I was 17 years old. To young and dumb to even think I didn't have a clue what I was doing. I hauled my Honda 350XL down over the basement stairs in Maine and set it up on a a couple of sawhorses next to the wood stove. I could pick it up myself and carry it around if need be. I stripped it down to the frame. The motor /tranny were all one piece and the oil was self contained, so it wasn't real complicated. I put 12" over tubes on the front end ( no rake) Trumpet tt pipes, mini apes, tall sissy bar upholstered all the way to the top. Painted it green/gold metalflake (looked like a Bass boat) with flat black lace panels. Hand painted spiderwebs on the side panels. Made my Dad laugh, cause I had a bunch of leftover parts. Rode the thing all over Maine New Hampshire and Vermont. Looked a lot like what you'd get chopping one of these Rebels. The only pics I have of it are polaroids or I'd post one. Anyway, the whole time I was working on it and riding it, I'd dream it was a Harley-Davidson. But that's another story.
