Man! This bike so reminds me of the bikes I would see as a kid. Makes me remember why I fell in love!

"Great bike!"

 

Favorite pic of current configuration...

 

 

I agree.
There was a chapter(?) of The Pagan's that was housed across the street from my home (originally from DE).
This is reminiscent of what I would see all the time in the early seventies (+/-).

 

Thanks Guys!

That was the idea when I decided to build it. I grew up with the old 60's Choppers. I had this bike and when I had to replace the frame on it, I knew what I wanted to do. I had the correct bike (1962 XLCH) all I had to do was the full custom job on it.

There are a couple of threads I have with build information on them. Here's a few links.

I have some photos at the build page on my Club web page.

Here's an earlier thread where I documented a bit of the build.

I'm not sure who they were but, there was a clubhouse down the street when I started school in Portland, OR early/mid-seventies.

 

I'll be checking them out, thanks!
