L&L Homemade One Off Springer

L&L Homemade One Off Springer

Asking is free… a French customer came to ask if we could make a springer, using a design he had picked out. We at L&L don’t say no so easily, so this is the result. With a hardtail frame included, it will be built into a nice 70s chopper in France.

L&L when quality and experience are a must

Swedish touch

The test rounds have been driven again, so the chopper can go to the customer. A model with a long fork, low and down, is described as a Swedish model. Jaap wanted such a long front fork that gives you a Swedish chopper feeling.

The large capacity tank and the softail frame do not belong to this style, but make the chopper unique and completely according to the customer’s wishes. Many kilometers will be driven with it, so the comfortable sitting position is a bonus!

Front forks for Japanese models

Due to a lack of time, it has been a while since you’ve been able to read some new information from us, but that is going to change in the coming period. For the interested chopper builders, it’s probably known that we can supply front forks for Harley that are longer than 20 inches, as seen in the photos.

However, we’ve been receiving an increase in inquiries from the Japanese chopper community, asking if we could also supply, for example, Honda front forks from the 1980s. In the meantime, we’ve found a solution for this, so whether you’re looking for shorter or longer forks, let us know, and we will investigate their availability.

Roelands Sportster Softail Bobber

To get an idea of the design, the bicycle part is ready for the Bobber van Roeland.
We opted for a traditional thick tank. The block is upgraded with Shovelhead covers. The rear wheel has a 200mm tire. The black powder-coated wheels give the Bobber a vintage look.

Wheels in all shapes and sizes

Every construction project comes with wheels that match the look of the engine. For the Bobber from 16 to 23 inches and for the Boardtracker from narrow to extreme.

Custom made Forks

With a Highneck or Swedish Style frame you definitely need long forks. We have been supplying them for years but for those who did not know, the forks are up to 50 inches!

Rough build

Here is a model that we have prepared for the open day. You can purchase the depicted model raw (without license plate, not finished), raw with license plate or completely finished (with license plate) according to your own wishes.

Attackkit with RDW approved self-build license plate

We have been making frames according to customer wishes for 35 years, but we have also been working with the Attackkit for a long time. This is a frame where everything from a donor engine can be built to the shape and taste of the customer. The customer can do this all by himself, but we can also help with this. In this case we have provided the rough build with license plate.

Dyna in Mexican Style

Almost no after-market parts are available for the Dyna Glide models. Luckily we already make frames for these models and in this case we have produced an extra short front fork and exhaust kit.

Bit of a Swedish Chopper

A model with a long fork, low and down, is described as a Swedish model.
Jaap wanted such a long front fork that gives you a bit of a Swedish chopper feeling.
The tank with content and the softail frame do not belong to this style, but make the chopper unique and completely according to the customer’s wishes.

Sportster Chopper Softail frame

Customer Frank has always driven standard motorcycles, but the chopper feeling was always there. There is of course always a reason to postpone this wish, but he has now decided to go all the way. Frank chooses this style but on a Softail base.

Jim’s 5 speed gearbox

In the past we have sometimes been tempted to deliver an Ultima gearbox to the customer. But cheap is expensive because the quality from Farawayistan comes back like a boomerang.

Original HD containers are proven quality but unfortunately not available at the moment. And see here a Jim’s container with proven quality!
