Choppers?

[soonerbillz]

When I was a little kid I really likes choppers.
  But after I grew a bit not so much.
But this looks pretty cool. Maybe.

Cool to look at, deathtrap to ride.

I am all for choppers... but a chopper is a chopped Harley. Full stop.
Anything else just looks weird, like this thing.

Hey, that's a cool looking engine stand!  A little big for my living room but still neat.

There's some pretty cool Triumph chops out there that don't look weird.  I have to agree with you on this one though.

triumphs, harleys and indians. period ones are neat .. but .. no.

It must be about as easy to ride as this.

I would probably be able to ride that radial before I could ride this:

On the Kawasaki Triple engined chopper, part it out as the engine is worth more than the rest of that build! What is the heck is the add on for the left side? 

[RDFL]

I was wondering if it was electric starter.

Looks like an ARD magneto.

Don't think that triple was designed to be ridden.  It's a show bike for sure. It will look great in someone's collection of overpriced cars.

Somebody made an old drag bike into a chopper?

Legendary engines draw attention. Like a Chrysler Hemi in an old Ford model T. Choppers have the "Tin Lizzie" aesthetic that doesn't really grab me. I don't think it's any other reason for building this. Sorta like the 50's style roadster hot rods made out of 1930's cars, they're fun to look at parked. Driving them from parking lot to parking lot is a hassle. Heaven forbid you should scuff up the tires or blue the chrome.

For my money it's 100% more interesting than the big bore S&S HD lump that actually belongs in there. On a scale of 1 to 10 that's still a 1.

Interesting front wheel. That's not a modified early H2 drum brake is it? Looks really narrow.
