When I fused an OCC and WCC together in my Orange Coast Chopper build,
I found I just couldn't get the length out of it that I wanted. hence the swept back and raised seat post. The neck geometry was already set, so nothing could be done as far as lengthening; otherwise it made the front fork almost straight up and down. The only way it could be done properly would be to cut out the spiderweb in the neck, change the rake and geometry, lengthen, and put it all back together.
It was easier just to start from scratch and build a new frame....Hence, the production Bobber Frame.

Brett! No problem. I have tons of Info on custom bikes and builders. Been around a long time.
Ran My Custom bike forum for about 7yrs on MSN before I lost interest and let it go to the crapper as to say.
Now I have a new found interest in custom bikes again and a new found interest in Motored bikes.
I'm thinking of doing this WCC/OCC as a motored bike. MY bike from I Ride will probably be just a 3spd pedal bike.
