How to chop a japbike
by
Lunatic
| Start by putting
the bike on the work table, and using the magnetic angle finder, strap
it down level where you want it. (this of course is done AFTER you hack
off all the excess stuff, leaving behind the swingarm). |
|
 |
|
|
|
Then
you stretch the swingarm by hacking the axle plates off, leaving some
tubing attached for the inner slugs to hold onto. THEN, you put an angle
finder on the sprocket to make sure the wheel is straight up and down,
just like the frame. then you use a caliper to see that the same amount
of material is being added to each side. |
|
|
|
Now
you're ready to add the upper and lower rails. |
|
|
| Once
you get the upper and lower rails in, and the side to side braces added,
then you can hack the swingarm out of there, clean up the excess tabs
and mounts where the swingarm used to mount, and you're ready to go!!
CHOP ON!!! |
