Shovel Chopper frame work

On the downtubes are the only welds that are grinded.

Alaputkissa ovat ainoat hiotut saumat. 

 The frame is made in a specific order.

Runko tehdään tietyssä järjestyksessä.

More to come.............

Lisää tulossa.........

Siistit palat ja HD osaa. 

Shovel chopper Neck work

 Butwelds are driled to remove the old pipes.

Hitsaukset poistetaan niin että saadan pois vanhat putket.

Shovel Chopper Frame

 Shovel Chopper frame, I will show you on this blogg how SFC changes the frame

Shovel kopterin runko, näytän tässä blogissa sinulle miten SFC tekee runkomuutoksen.

 Ewery thing is measured and leveld.

Kaikki mitataan ja laitetaan vaateriin.

 This shovel frame has been in an accident.

Tämä shovelin runko on ollut kolarissa.

Here the frame is cut, I will also show the rake work is done.

Tässä on runko leikattu, näytän myös miten niskan reikkaus tehdään. 



Frame work

 Shovel frame that will be changed to fit a EVO-engine. Here the frame is clamped to the frame jig.

 Cut out the part that needs to changed.

 Closeup of pipe before welding.

 The backbone of the frame needs to be extended to fit the engine.

 Looking like a frame again. I use a blowtorch to bend the pipes. I like it more than the pipebender.

 Tank mounts.

  I have these brackets for sale if interested send me a mail:

snowflakecustoms@gmail.com

I wanted to reuse as much as possible the orriginal parts for this bike so the frame needed to be cut and welded a bit to fit the engine, and some blowtorch work.

Summer is over, back to work......

 Some transmission work this time.

 This transmission case has been welded at some time, will fix it. And in bad shape any way.

More welding.

Classic Trial ARIEL 1954

 So I´m back. I have been taking it easy and enjoing the summer. But a litle help for my friend was necessary. Here I hepled with his frame it was an old allready cut up Ariel Frame from 1954.

He wants to drive in classic trials with this bike so we modified the frame for this application.

 Specs on the bike:

Engine will be a Ariel MH350 -57 with Amal Monobloc, transmission a Burman with Burman clutch, And a Lucas racing magneto..........and more..

 I will post more pics of this bike as it gets more ready.

 The handlebar is ready I just sparybombed it, I need to get this baby on the road...

 The seat is ready and mounted on the frame.

 The pipes are ready, mounted and painted flatblack. The "muffler" is made out of stainless I didnt have the energy to pollish it to a mirror finnish..... Fu*king bling bling won´t make you go any faster..

 I had to do it.......

 Spray bomb paint job dirt cheap.

Parts

I had a problem tightening my transmission with the original nuts and washers. My transmission plate is made out of 7000 series aluminium so I needed something beefy to get the jobb done.

These are available from SnowflakeCustoms@gmail.com and are made of tool grade steel.

They are four in a set.

 Here is a pic of my handlebar to my bike, I wanted to use the original clamp. So it needed to be cut this way and welded back.

 I like this style of handlebar so i made my own with a litle twist, I will use 22mm grips type motocross because I like them more than the fat ones that is originaly used. 

Here is a view of my shop outside, nice beats your office any day.

Painting my pipes been lazy taking pics but will take more tomorrow.....Some nice parts to come.

Stay tuned.....

 Ok, here the tank is ready and the pic is taken from beneath the tank so you can see the oil and gas lines.

 Here is another pic of the tank, I use a 20mm hose between the gas tanks i dont have a filler cap on this side just this hose and a big air hose to get the gas to this side when filling up on stops. There is nothing extra with the oil lines just your normal setup.

 The LOUD pipe is ready, and I like it. Just need to finnish the suport  for it. Othervise the bike is getting there just a lot of small parts to make............ This is my take on the chopper, light as possible good brakes a nice engine (I have a wilder one on the make....) with as much as the original parts as possible NO Taiwan Ted parts that every one can by of the shelf. 

Make or design your own parts! 

 The seat is also mounted on the bike no leather work on this one just spray bomb it.

Here you can se the hose between the tanks big and ugly but fits the part.
