possibly the worlds only 2 stroke chopper?
Really though, I don't think it looks bad, as far as choppers go, and while I'm not sure that an RD400 engine fits the "custom chopper" mold, at least he's asking a someone reasonable price. Usually the guys with bikes like that think there made of gold and work 5 or 6 times what hes asking!1979 xs1100 Special -

I'd be willing to bet that if it had the correct expansion chamber exhaust it wouldn't need a "rejet".....http://www.myspace.com/i_give_you_power

Well, one meaning of abortion is "any malformed or monstrous person, thing, etc. " So while your word my be more apt.......
Yeah I wondered about the exhaust also. And why does everyone here call bobbers choppers? In my mind a chopper has a long front end.
I may should have posted this under things that make you go hmmmmm. But still, you cant ride that thing like the motor was made for.Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas.

Well......Chopper is defined as a "customized motorcycle" according to Webster anyway.

Hey, he's only asking $1500 for a not too bad looking RATBOB. Probably a better engine than the one that origionally came with it.Comment

'Choppers' are generally, well, chopped. This means the fram is lowered, sometimes hardtailed and the steering is raked out, hence needing longer forks.
'Bobbers', are just guys that know they have no hope of attracting a female so they go with a solo seat.Nice day, if it doesn't rain...
