The Tingler Is Finished! Come Win This Bike At Strange Days Next Weekend!

The Tingler is finished! It has been another long process and thousands of hours to bring this old chopper new life. Special thanks to Matt Rush for rebuilding the motor, Carl Miller for the seat work, Bob of Toon Town for the paint. Yours truly, Ben, and Joe did the fab work. Big thanks to Ken and Chris to let us work on this bike for Strange Days again. It takes a village to build a chopper!

Here's quick recap of the whole build process. Our goal was to build a chopped Sportster that utilized as much original Sportster parts as possible.

This is what we started with back in November/December.
























Matt Rush did an amazing job bringing this tired motor back to life.

 Test and tune! This bike absolutely rips! 




Come win this bike at Strange Days this weekend, July 11,12,13!!!! For more details on how, visit www.strangedaysevent.blogspot.com

Strange Days 4: Tingler Updates! It Takes a Village To Build a Chopper!

Time for a Strange Days 4 "Tingler" mega update post!!! This bike is going to some lucky winner at Strange Days! The real challenge has been trying to use as much stock Sportster parts as possible. A Sportster chopper that still looks like a Sportster!



Ben nailed it with the custom oil tank with trick battery compartment that will house a small 4 cell ballistics battery, 2 breakers, and switches.


 We bent up a new seat pan that needed some special fab to fit the frame nice. Carl Miller will be doing the seat again this year. He has done the seats for the two previous bikes and does outstanding work!







 Good to Carl! Start stitchin' up some hide! 

We have the stock rises with an extra 2" of rise added. Just need some welding and some paint and they are good to go.


 Ken and Chris put the wheels together.18" Firestone ANS for the rear and 21" Avon with stock drum for the front. Thanks to Eddie from Unique for the front tire and other goodies!

Man what a stance!




Matt Rush of Rush Cycles came by with our motor! It doesn't even look like the same motor we gave him a few months ago. Plane and simple, Matt knows his shit. We'll be doin burnouts for sure.


Fitting up some XLR pipes cause they just look so damn good!


Woof!








We brought the Tingler outside for some fresh air.


The ol'man approves! Don't forget this bike could be yours!
