Venice- Rat Fink Chopper!!!

Custom Builder / Dealer/Los Angeles
Here's a bike that I just finished for a customer.
It's a Electra Rat Fink Chopper.
I had to hand make custom steel mounts to off set the engine & also off set the rear sprocket 1/2" for the chain to clear the big 3" wide rear tire.
I also welded a hand made bracket for the front disc brake.
Big props to Jeff (culvercityclassic) for helping me make the custom exaust pipe!

WOW! This is really nice! There is nothing about this bike that I do not like. The color is awesome and the "bobber" stance is truly old school. (*me* Hoooneeeyyy? where is the credit card? *wife* no. *me* dammit!) Oh well a guy can dream. Great build!
 
I like it Hey Venice I picked up a worksman tandem three speed with all the best here today can we strip it out and hot rod a straight bar?

Cool bike Venice!!! Did you guys make the exhaust pipe? I'm looking for a long pipe for mine, any suggestions? and do they add any performance?

Thanks!
It's a hand made pipe with a stock muffler brazed on the end. I did my performance mods to the muffler. ;)
 
You sure do nice installs Norm I would like to see a 4 stroker in that frame the 2 stroke looks so small and the tank grows on you but... I hear you are in the works of making rear round tanks if so that might be the ticket. You have sure came along well with your builds, so get on that dam felt that you said you were going to build I haven't got all day.

once you have the hole cut out to fit the sprocket over the the hub how do you get the chain to clear the fat tire? i tried spacing it out but then can get the brake arm on any suggestions?
