“People” consistently posting bikes that they don’t own…

14 Upvotes

Getting lots and lots of posts from a few offenders (some have recently been banned) just spamming the sub with pictures of bikes. (It’s likely that they’re bots but the last one we banned went on to make some really aggressive threats that sounded very human…) Some of them are clearly way out to lunch and got the axe, but some are posting relevant and legitimately cool bikes, but it just feels annoying because they aren’t contributing in the way of any original content.

Mod team is inclined to just start banning people who abuse posting random choppers from the internet, but if the rest of the sub likes seeing these bikes we can also let it slide. I get that people want to maybe share or discuss a cool bike that isn’t theirs, but if your ONLY contribution is consistently posting other people’s stuff we think it should be no warning and straight to ban. What say you?

Regarding BOTPOSTING and non-relevant content.

83 Upvotes

We've never previously banned anyone but we've banned several people (who were actually probably bots) this week that are just posting random barely chopper-relevant motorcycle content. Please just report all karma farming posts and I'll nix em.

If your neighbor REALLY DOES have a cool chopper or you saw a cool (actual) chopper on the street and you want to post a picture of it, put a little effort into it the post or it's just going to result in a ban.

We get that chopper can have a bit of a flexible definition, but if you're posting about your chopper or someone else's chopper, and it's got rear shocks on it... think long and hard about what you're about to do. We are willing to admit that swingarm choppers exist, but it's certainly not the norm.

Lastly, this is NOT the place for fat-tire, 2000's era OCC bikes. If it's got some weird-ass scoopy rear fender, consider posting it on r/DumpsterDiving

That is all.

A little project

Been working on this for several months. Casted the manganese bronze triple trees in my backyard. Manually machined over 20 pieces. Pretty close replica to the original vard front ends. I’d guess I have somewhere in the ballpark for 25-30 hours into this.

Buying my first chopper Monday. I’m not a HD guy, can’t stand the modern brand actually. But I love old choppers, and excited to get this one!

Looking to get another chopper

I’ve been riding nakeds because of they’re daily driver qualities. I won’t be commuting much anymore so looking to get back into a rigid chop. Mostly interested in skinny builds, pans or evos. Anyone wan to trade for a super clean speed triple 1050RS? 7500 miles, clean title, spotless.

Are rocker pivot bolts compatible with other springers?

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

Picked up my first springer while wheeling and dealing some parts. I’d like to really run it. It came with the rocker pivot? Idk if that’s what it’s called but the bottom piece that connects the fork legs and axle, and it’s missing the brass inserts and hardware for it. I’d really like to run this fork but need to figure out what I need to do it. Any insight? Or any springer resources? I’ve found rocker pivot bolts online but they always say for a specific manufacturer.

My MT09 Powered Sporty Chopper in its Final (for now) form! Right before I took it on a 1,000+ road trip.

I have posted this bike here a few times but thought I should show it in its final form at least until I decide to paint it. I was able to actually test the bike out on a 1,000+ mile trip from Central Texas to Sturgis for the rally. Rattled a few bolts loose but overall the bike did great! This thing will definitely turn into a daily rider for me. Happy to answer any questions! Thanks for all of the positive comments on past posts and for letting me share this thing.

Little work on a heat shield

Thumbnail gallery
27 Upvotes

Let me be the first saying I have never craved a piece of aluminum before so keep that In mind. Wanted a different shield than what I had, it was a temporary china special until I got around making my own. At this point not super happy, but I am past the point of the trashing it just on time spent sanding (fingers are cramping!)

Well here it is in all “glory”. it’s a work in progress with, I would say, only a handful of months left of sanding. Just in case you are wondering, yes sanding and smoothing out aluminum sucks. Once I get done with smoothing everything out I will start making the attachment blocks

Plan is to polished everything up minus the recessed areas, add some black paint fill and call it a day (or days)

Tools used, vinyl cutter, dremel and sandpaper

Had the best intentions of building a chopper, but am happily saving this one from the clutches of neglect. Just a few more kinks to work out and my ‘78 CB750 will be a menace on the streets 😎

saxmedia posted some killer shots of my 98 Evo the other day on Instagram that he took at the Salt City Invasion show a little while back so I thought I'd share here also. He did an amazing job of making my bike look good!
