Tales of the Choppa

Boing. So I have stripped the Choppa frame down to 89% metal. The next step would be to have it blasted and coated, right? Nagging in the middle of my brain sez not yet. The front of my brain yells out "Hook it Up and make it Gleam" Yhe middle of my brain sez not to pull the trigger too early. The sides of my brain tug at each other because I cannot see the logic that would ease the torment. While searching for ideas the answer jumps up from the back of my brain. Mock it up and alter first. It's a chopper. Sure I bought it as one, but it's mine now. My whole brain is screaming, make it your own first. There is cutting and welding to be done. The frame welds are in good shape, some could stand to be cleaned and some just to be redone. The foot controls need to move foward, both rider and pillion. Exhaust and electrical components need to be mounted. Build the bike before I color it.
Fuel Tank???????????????
Split drop tank or Frisco mount.
Split drop for the long and low swoop or Frisco to display some trick frame inlay. I'm diggin on the inlaid thought process. Rub some flava on the frame and use a normally empty section. Many chopper frames leave a large open expanse in between the frame and engine. Fill it in with some artwork. Custom plating or wire design. Now I need to seek out some talent.
