Off brand chopper ID-need help
Just picked this up pretty reasonable. No markings, and getting the title tomorrow. Just curious if anyone recognizes the manufacturer. The motor is as strong as anything I've ever rode but the frame geometry sucks. It's kinda like steering a cabover pete from outside the truck, holding onto the tire. Good fun in a straight line though. I've got a frame table and plans to make it right soon... and a seat and back fender as well...

Couple fast questions , is the motor mounted offset to one side of the bikes centerline in the frame ? Or does the front wheel sit centered or offset in the forks when you look at it head on ? Dealt with a lot of those kit choppers and those 2 items are how some of the cheaper builders got around dealing the wider rear tire setup and the handling suffered big for it as the torque effect was off center, alway felt like you had to sit off or lean to one side to balance things.

That looks like a bike called the "Black Cloud." Its made by ULTIMA. Heres a link to it. http://www.choppersurplus.com/bikeki...lackcloud.html If I remember correctly those kits came with a 113 ci with the option to upgrade to a 127ci depending on what year it is.
