Choppers en chopperparts
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!
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!
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.

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!
