WIP Chopper

[nasTone]

Just started working on this earlier tonight. I was practicing making weldments in SolidWorks and I came up with this. The rim and tire are shown just for location at this time. I am going to make a complete bike, minus the motor. Let me know what you think so far.

I think thats amazing!

The wheel looks great, maybe let the tire curve a bit more so the contact patch with the road is a bit less like a regular bike. Another thing that would be cool is some more chopper inspired chrome or billett wheels? But the ones you have now look great too.

Heres a bunch of chopper pics I took on the weekend, they might be useful.

i agree totally, that looks seriously nice, and i also think that the tyre should be curved more and the whole rim a bit bigger if possible

Jeez, thats awesome man! Nice symetrical lines so far. Cant wait to see this thing done.

Man im amazed at everyones art work on this site (as well as others, but this site has cars and stuff so its better lol)

Not bad at all, but.. are you a big bike fan because i think the design is flawed, where will the engine go? The little suport brace in the middle would block the motor? Do you undertand where im talking about?
Look at this pic, notice how much room the motor needs up front, there isnt any tubing blocking its path.
