zhlédnutí 707Před 3 měsíci
This SU from Frisco Choppers has been on this 67 Shovel Chopper since 1977. Now it's all new again to match the new motor and new tranny build, entire bike, from bare frame up.

Beware of Bill Goss, Founder of Elite Publishing Academy. He has my $2,740 and never sent me the 50 hardcover books he owes me. It's been 5 months now. I paid him on April 12, 2023 and his invoice and my payment are shown in this video. Today is September 12, 2023.

Beware of Bill Goss who runs this so-called publishing business. He ripped me off $2,740 by not printing my books or giving me a refund. Proof is in this video, right Bill? I paid him upfront April 12, 2023, today is September 1 and I have never gotten any books or refund.

"Three in Top 20"
zhlédnutí 38Před rokem
At the ripe old age of 67 I got the chance to write some motorsickle books, total of 3 of them got published this year and now toward the end of December, all 3 are in the Top 20. Thanks to the folks who are actually interested in building choppers and then riding 'em cross country. I really appreciate you guys.

"Chopper Hobo", a Different Type of Book
Ran one on my Shovel for 20 years, until I sold that bike. Loved it. Follow the steps.
Turned out great! I have a 50s bathroom that I need to remodel and want to keep it as close to period as possible
I was just wondering what a 'mousetrap eliminator' was.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I wish I could find one of those breather covers for the carburetor on my EVO Heritage! I've always liked the looks of them! Nice bike, & nice video! Seeya!
Glad you were able to make it work. My 65 in a stock frame the mousetrap sits lower and misses the fins by more than in your frame. Great job and nice looking bike! I went with a 65 because at my age with my health problems that button is a good thing.
That link you posted don’t work, says server can’t be found ?
I just clicked on that link and it worked for me. Anyhow, you can google them, thegoodoldmotorcyclepartscompany.
Found one of these things in a bin 'o parts i bought at a swap meet for 50 bucks. I'm now going to try to rig it up to my Sportster!
For old SU carbs nd other hard to find parts, you can check out this link: info@thegoodoldmotorcyclepartscompny.com
A slam button in case normal starting procedures fail.
That in my opinion is an absolutely beautiful bike, I read many Chopper magazines in the day. Is that a Durfee Girder, girders are near impossible to aquire. Owen, from Australia.
Yes Owen good guess. It's a 1976 Durfee made in June that year. I knew the original owner, then my younger brother had it, now I've got it.
Back in the day "Gary Bang" fish tails were the best, they were about a 1/2" wide opening at the fishtail and your bike would sound like a truck hitting his "J brake" when you got off the throttle!!!
Hey. You're close to my old house. Is that mural still there? I know some of them down that way have been painted over. There used to be some really neat street art under the little bridge you can walk under on Seeboth. Don't know if any of that is there anymore, either. The city has changed so much...I have a friend who lived in a warehouse on Florida long before they redid them all into six-figure condos--when it was still an *actual warehouse*. It was pretty great. I know nothing about bikes, but cool bike.
Really enjoying the videos Dave! Only one complaint. They’re too short. I can’t get enough of this fantastic motorcycle..Great job!!
She’s beautiful!!! What size shovelhead Dave?
oh that so cool! awesome job!
Gives me art deco vibes as well. Love that mirror
Looks so good 😍😍😍😍
I have a 72 shovel hard tail chopper with a p&p 21 over girder front end raked especially for that front end,with invader mags front and back the front is a 21"×3,I'll never ever part with this bike I built it ,it's 72 corvette yellow with candy blue and burgundy flames with a top coat of micro flake in the clear,it runs strong and hard!
Love the green
Looking good
You don't paint motor and tranny mount plates. When the paint wears off the bolts come loose.
It's beautiful and sounds fantastic!
Nlow thats a nice god dam shovelhead.
Thats A Beautiful Looking Chopper 👀😍🤠🇨🇦
I always loved those old mousetrap set-ups. They made for a great --and easy--clutch pull when adjusted properly.
That there is a perfect machine.🇬🇧

Could this Mousetrap be put on an 88 Evo? I have a badly damaged left wrist and using the clutch on my Evo is painful. Cheers from UK
No, go hydraulic , u need a four speed only, for it. There’s no cables, or you can get some pull helper thing that goes into the transmission cable cover.
Put a late model clutch spring in it,will help some
Beautiful!
Never heard of the term "slab side". What is it?
I thought Green was against the Rules
Where is your helmet?.....
Great looking chopper, Dave! It's a hard to hear you on the camera/phone while riding with the wind noise. You should try getting a helmet camera with an microphone inside the helmet!
I actually closed my eyes until you rang that bell. It's me, Jeff.
Nice! But a little longer video giving a better look at the bike would have been better.
great looks skilled build stay up stay free!!!
Hey, Dave, got curious and actually found you on CZcams That's cool. These kind of scoundrels know that a cost more to hire an attorney to get your money back then what they owe you. It's a rough spot to be in and I wouldn't wish that on anybody except well maybe for my enemies I guess but I wouldn't wish it on anybody like my friends.
Nice shovel! I gotta get one of those. I don’t ride my 72 much for that reason. My hydraulic clutch has made me weak and worthless.
perfect lines. girder is exactly right.
Awesome ride!
Space it off the frame with washers
Too many mousetraps. Get some hungry cats.
thats a beauty harley bro.nice
Sweet Ride!
VERY SHARP!!!!!
Sounds great!!!! 😍😍🥰🥰💞💞💞
I've had bikes with mousetraps Come in the shop where you just about neede 2 hands to pull in the clutch, and leave with 2 finger clutches, it's all about the set up.
Once I hurt my left hand, I couldn't work the clutch on my Evo but I could still ride my pan.
Gorgeous bike!
