Get down to it: The core of the
Seegercycle Chopper Kit. The top triple tree is on a ball
joint (called the top adaptor), the bottom fits nicely on the gizmet at the far
right (called the bottom adaptor).
NOTE: To clear up any confusion -
there are two bolt on chopper kits available. They look very
similar and change your bike in similar ways. I'm not going
to debate the differences between the two. You're all big
kids, make up your own mind. The one from Seegercycle shown
here (also known as the "FS" kit) and one manufactured by
AME. The FS kit is aluminum and the AME is chrome steel. You can visit them online at

If you've been around more than a
month, you probably have figured out that there are really only
three ways to get a chopper:
1) Buy one from someone else. Certainly the easiest way but
unless yer made of money and have a college degree in Mechanical
Inspection, you don't really know what yer gonna get.
2) Take your stock bike, remove all the stuff stuck in the frame
(you know, motor, tank, trans, etc. etc.) and hit that sucker
with a blow torch, sawz-all or dremel tool (for those that
really like to take their time). Time consuming - plus ya gotta
be a pretty fair mechanic to make all this stuff work again.
3) Buy a new, raked chopper frame and take all the stuff off
your old frame and bolt it on your new frame. Expensive, and
what the hell are you gonna do with the left over stock frame,
anyway?
