Choppers en chopperparts
For Michel we’re going to build a chopper where different styles are going to be used. The different styles are combined in a new style called “Vintage New Generation.”
So 
we will use an Early Shovel block which has 1600 cc. This type comes from the same year as Michel’s birth. The 5 gearbox is fitted with a kicker and Hydra clutch.
For the wheels, we use 10-spoke aluminum wheels with a sleek appearance and it is braked by drum brakes.
If we build a chopper with a primary belt drive it’s often the desire to use a cover. Now of course we can take a (non-creative) primary belt drive from the catalog or we make a Homemade one.
With this project, we’ve retained the shape of the wheel in the beltcover.
On this project we’ve made everything thicker for the customer. A 200mm front tire with an extra thick and wide springer and a softail frame with extra thick tubes. Not to mention a 1600 cc Panhead block and a 240 mm rear tire.

More and more engines are rebuilt with a petrol injection system, therefore we’ve now got a ribbed sportster tank for a fuel pump.
