I'm a bobber chopper guy as well. But as I work towards opening my own shop I want to be able to show versatility in styles of build. Coming from a track background I have good working knowledge of trail and rake, suspension setups and compression, steering head and swing arm pivot as well as swing arm angle. All major factors in creating a balanced corner carver. This will be my first full cafe build as I've done a few cafe "mods" before but never dove in head first for a full build.
This thread was started from another thread because I inadvertently created a hijack scenario with a rear wheel suggestion. So @Dave a moderator started this thread to open up the discussion without affecting the OP build thread.
Tank questions arose because that's one area I have limited knowledge in the cafe sense. I can build a chopper tank all day long or mod a bobber tank with ease. I would like to do something with knee cutouts but I'm finding them more and more rare so I may be making my own.
I'll start by marking and cutting the knee indent area out and doing the flip the sections to the opposite side, reverse them and weld back in. This aside from taking a body hammer to a tank is the most common way of achieving knee cutouts.
