'68 CB350KO
I love this little bike. I bought it in 2000 for $190. It didn't run when I bought it, but all it needed was the carbs rebuilt and the gas tank lined with Kreem. It has 17,300 miles. I rode it to the Vintage Jap Show and Swap Meet in Jefferson, PA in '03 and took a trophy for runner-up in the vintage class.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to ride much this summer. I was plagued with leaky floats, then discovered the battery wasn't charging, then screwed up the threads on one of my sparkplug holes, then messed up one of my valves when tapping new threads into the cylinder head. Long story short, I have work to do this winter. Click for a larger view

'73 CB750K3
I bought this bike for $675 in 2002. I rode it a few times, then started chopping. The bike had a current PA inspection when I bought it. It ran pretty good, but the carbs could use a good cleaning and probably re-jetting.

Click on the project750bobber link for more info on this bike, and lots of photos of the build.

Local Honda Chopper crew
Here's two shots from Bike Night in York, PA. Actually these were before we left. There's yours truly on the left, and the rest of the crew on the right... all on vintage Hondas.

Badger's 750 chopper
This is Badger's bike. It's a Denver's frame with a 20" over girder and coffin tank. The bike has an 836 kit, and besides that I don't know much except for it looks killer and runs great. It took a second place trophy in the radical chopper class at the 2006 Summer BikeFest in Carlisle. Way to go Badger!

Currently, this bike is going through a winter re-build. Hopefully I can get some more photos with the new paint job soon.

Trista's Bike
I don't remember much about this bike, other than Trista built it herself with the help of some friends. She emailed me these photos so long ago, I don't have the info anymore. Anyway, enjoy... this is what choppin' is all about.

Eric's Dream
When I saw these photos, I instantly fell in love. Here's what Eric Has to say about his baby...

The bike is pretty much stock, with the exceptions of the bolt-ons. The headlight is an ebay special from a Harley. I had to put some sheetmetal behind it to cover the hole left when removing the old square one. The fishtail exhaust is from JC Whitney and I used some adapters to get them to fit on the stock headerpipes. The battery box is from a Harley, also an ebay special. The seat was a generic solo chopper seat. I just had to add some mounts. The gas tank is from a sportster, garage sale special. My favorite part is the tail light. Its from a '46 Buick.
