Build for a client whose only request was the chopper had to be green & sport 80 spoke wheels. Here’s what the "Head Gangster” came up with, a low down dirty little street trick, built around a 1968 HD Shovelhead – the Gang Green bike. The rest were all hand-built parts, frame, gas tank, oil tank, seat, wheels, Springer front fork, exhaust, fender, and details & more details!

Thursday, June 16, 2011














This bike build starting off with a washed up 1994 Harley Davidson FXR, an ex-Maryland State Police Parade duty bike and became Gangster Choppers’ “Making My Bones” bike. Stripped down to only a frame, motor, transmission, swing arm, lower motor mount, and an oil tank meant that the all the rest had to be fabricated from scratch. Starting off fabricating a Leaf Springer front end and kept going with hand-built gas tank, seat, fender, exhaust pipe, tag mount with oil filter, tail light, push rods, wheel assembies, top motor mount, and tons of machine work to pull in and round off the details. This bike is one of our favorites and always gathers a crowd.
