They started to show American Chopper on Finnish TV and I was immediately excited about the works of Paul Jr. et al. Watching the show and searching the web for pics and specs of choppers I felt I could try designing my own bike.
I didn't want to just copy the awesome bikes they've built at OCC but still I might have picked a detail or two from their bikes.
Here are some WIP pics. I don't know much about the parts that go in a bike (motor, transmission etc.). At the moment I'm sort of trial fitting the stuff inside the frame and refine the models later.

Pic 1. Basic parts in the frame, playing with the color. The belts have been changed after this pic.

Pic 2. Black is always black. Couldn't resist coloring the exh. pipes. I need to check the proportions. Pentagon seems to be the overall theme.
C & C are very welcome!
