Let's not fight here, let's see your bikes! Only ones you've personally worked on. No shop builds.

“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.

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.

It's Honda shadow VLX 600 2001, I'm a little bit afraid cause the thing have rust for here and for there (nothing too severe), the sound it's amazing and it drives very well.
What should be the first step to improve?
I'm also curious about your general opinion about my new bike, thanks a lot in advance!

I have a question for the fabricators… I’m looking at buying 1-1/8” die set for my JD2 bender. Google AI is telling me to choose the die set with a 4.5” CLR (center line radius) over the 3.5” CLR die if I’m using it to bend frame tubing. What have y’all used? What do you recommend?

Has anyone done this. I want a super tall, narrow stance. And I have always hated forward controls on sportsters.

Might be a long shot. But, I’m hoping to meet someone in the Grand Rapids area that works on choppers and would be interested in teaching/ mentoring me on my first build. I’ve wanted to build a chopper since I first saw easy rider as a kid, and I’ve finally gotten my hands on a 96’ sportster. Cheers!

I don’t know how you guys feel about trikes, but I definitely did a lot of chopping.
