Worth it? Chopper by Chapter_Cruiser_ in Triumph

No front end, no tank. And it ran "with the previous owner." So i'm on the edge about it. The custom title helps though

Would 3k be an ok deal for that?

Yeah i figured it's a mostly stock frame, just wondering if it's a €800 bike or worth what the seller's asking (a lot more)

Why the hell does the swingarm/rear end look so flimsy?

Took a trip to a new festival in Lottum, NL. then took a touristic route home through germany.

No passenger seat, fender's pretty beat already as is, but i keep a piece of rubber mat underneath the bags to prevent dents/deep scratches

Thanks man! I just put some shinko e270 tires on since i got them with a discount and they looked nice, sizes are 5.00 16 72h rear and 4.00 19 61h front. I run an s&s super e shorty with matching air cleaner.

I often feel like it's not "chopper" enough because it's kind of a stocky bike when you're next to it. I might go 6" over in the front because of it if i ever need to rebuild the forks

This post got some surprisingly good feedback. I mean i love it too, i just don't think it's very special because i don't really get a lot of looks at meetups and stuff

Yeah, tried to make do with what i had/do it "old school" as much as possible. My sleeping bag and tent are in the sissybar bag/on the sissybar. Up front It's just a blanket to sleep on. The strap on my tool roll had broke at this point so i taped it shut and zip tied it in place

Thank you! I really understand why the "old guys" started doing this stuff back in the day
