Superhawk chopper?
I was thinking of using one of my extra motors and creating a chopper. Buying one of those chopper frames off eBay that are made for a big Harley twin and turning it into a head scratcher. The extra room in the frame offers extra mods like supercharging. Not sure, but true Honda lovers would get a kick out of it. I would love to be able to get it to fit a cb750 frame but it's too large for that. Superhawk with straight exhaust sure would sound pretty dam loud at 9k lol

definately an interesting idea. I dont know where in the world you would find a super charger for a superhawk though |
A supercharger isn't that hard to do, neither is the chopper idea... Have a look at the Kaminari for a few idea's...

Ya I remember looking at that. Its too crude and I am looking for more of the cookie cutter asm. I like the idea of getting a roller and doing the mods to the engine mounts and or the frame to get it shoe horned into it. I am sure it will out perform a Harley engine at half the cost.

You guys sure you are talking about the same bike I am?
The Kaminari is this bike... Made by Hogtech here in Sweden... |
That's pretty much the opposite of the bike I was thinking of...
https://www.superhawkforum.com/forum...ference-21258/ Actually, I'd always thought the one you were thinking of was a concept when I saw it... didn't realize it was a fully running build. |

I have had the idea for a chopper using a V-twin other than a Harley engine for about 11 years now. I have actually collected some of the parts for the project already. I just have to many projects at the moment to start this one. It will get done though. I just haven't decided on the engine yet. The reason I want to do it? It's different. The chances of seeing another one in your town or state is almost nil.
Here is a picture of a chopper using a RC-51 engine. This one is interesting. When I do my frame, I'm definitely going with a soft tail. https://www.superhawkforum.com/forum...opper-2866.jpg |
You guessed it. I was looking at the wrong bike. After looking at the one in the pic, I have a lot of questions. Is that ridged frame now? Is it easy to drive ?

I believe, but cant say for sure, it's a shorter than stock shock, and i know for a fact that it's the stock swingarm that's been stretched a bit with a new set of axle mounts and a bling-bling chainguard... Basically he re-used as much as possible of the stock parts, it's a "budget build" in that sense, but obviously done by a pro builder with access to a range of tools that most of us just dream about... Here's the specs... Code:
