Choppers en chopperparts
Time for an update on Yuri’s Swedish Chopper. The pulley and brake disc have been measured and just made. The wheel is aligned and the length of the belt is determined so that we know the position of the wheel.
The disc is behind the pullover to keep the view side of the Chopper as bare as possible, less is more! The next step is to determine the position of the caliper and shape the fender.
We will keep you informed about the progress!
This week we found a few projects in our archive that are not yet on the site, but that we don’t want to keep from you!
For our customer Arthur we transformed the Shovel FLT to a Dutch Drag style.
The customer wanted a Highneck Chopper for this project. The frame is equipped with a curved tank tube that will run over the tank. We also bent the front in the same radius.
We’ve now mounted a temporary fork with wheels to get an impression. The next job will be the pulley with the disc brake combination.
To be continued!
Customer Old Skool Coen comes from the idyllic village of De Rijp in North Holland. After a number of visits, construction started, partly thanks to his enthusiastic girlfriend.
In his examples there were, in our opinion, a bit too many black parts. But in consultation, a brilliant Chopper will be put on the road.
For the people who didn’t know yet, we grew up 40 years ago (we are so old ?) with Swedish Choppers.
Through a single Swedish magazine, Ride and Glide, we were hooked. As a result, sleepless nights when thinking of a Chopper.
Typically, the wide tire (130 band was the widest tire at that time), and a 20 inch fork with degrees in the triple trees so that even with one hand, the chopper was easy to handle.
This style has been gone for a long time, but we were able to make a Home-made, one-off frame again.
To be continued!
Here we used a Sportster 2006 model as a donor motor for Jeroen.
As you can see, we have applied only the minimal yet sufficient shape to create the spartan Harley feel.
The L&L crew believes that 23-inch wheels are the maximum height in terms of design.
But…. we have been seduced by customer Raf and have taken up the challenge to build with 26 inch wheels.
We’ve got another one in! Only for the price of 4250,-.
Only combined with an L&L AttackKit, frame and oil tank of 1495,-.
Take your donor motor and dismantle it. Visit the store to score an Attackit (Frame with oil tank).
Build everything over and… .voilà!
Customer Richy is every year in Saint Tropez to look at the different creations at the annual “Chopper and Custom Show”.
After years of thinking about joining the show, he went looking for the style that attracted him. Rightly so he arrived at the Boardtracker style, Richy went for the L&L (drag) Boardtracker.

We have put together a first set-up for Miriam. A chopper Frame, thick spoked wheels with a 17 inch wheel with 200 rear tire, a Springer and an Indian Larry tank.
We make all types of frames, from ‘Mild to Wild’.
For this frame we used curved shapes with a thick version of the tubes.
Most wishes can be fulfilled with a customized frame.
Here a Hardtail frame for the FLT gearbox, a shovel engine and suitable for a 240 mm rear tire.
