Sweet "Rat Fink" bob job bro.  
What did you use for the rear fender and how did you mount it ?
And nice hypercharger  

Its up to you what you do on the chopper but for me it looks pretty freakin sweet right now, but I understand that you would want to put your mark on it and make it your own and your ideas for it sound pretty cool as well.

Lookin forward to see what you do to it.

The rear fender is a front  fender from a 81 cb750f, its plastic. I mounted it with a tab welded to the swingarm and I used the cb750f mount and modded it to use as a rear loop mount. It fits right on the tire but doesn't rub, it moves with the swingarm. The hypercharger is an old school copper scoop I found at a swap meet. It is functional, it has a 2" piece of muffler pipe running into the air box before the filter. I need to re jet it, at speed it will lean out a little.

I have a friend who works at a nickel plating shop and he is gonna hook me up on the frame. I am gonna get some more spider webs form my local waterjet co. to put on the rear frame thats up in the air.
I cant decide to go show stopper or rat bike.    

nice work on the rear fender! that is a very creative bit of parts swapping sir. and the head light looks good up high too!

if im not mistaken there is an engine mount on the top of the motor in the center of the head. it looks like your chopper doesnt have one. you might look into welding one on to the frame before you have it nickel plated. oh and those bars are just a little bit too much. kinda ugly in my opinion. but whatever floats your boat i guess. the rest of it and the other bike look good though. keep us updated on the progress.

The pics are from the day I got the bike. There is some stuff I am gonna change, just have to decide what direction I want. I have some issues with a some other stuff right now that must be fixed first. I will post when changes are made. Thanks for the compliments.
