vlx chopper from the netherlands

Bjorn was the third guy to sign up when I moved from the old site. In my praise/humiliation of our latest member Davidoff Chenkenov, a Lakers fan, owner of a barrel, a shotgun, a hundred fish, and a Honda VLX600 he plans to chop, I said I’d try to find VLX info and pix for him to take inspiration from.

Then there was a comment from Bjorn. He has a VLX chop. Dig his pix and words about it:

As promised here are some pics of my cycle. It’s the first one I built. I chose this Honda because it was cheap and because of its small engine. Here in The Netherlands if you’re under 21 you can’t drive a motorcycle with more than 25 kW of power (editor’s note: about 34 hp). I tried to make as much myself as possible because I didn’t want to buy sh*t from catalogs, and because my budget was small.

Kept the frame stock, did chop off a bit. Made new handlebars. Nice and small so I can go through traffic jams on my way to school. Full stainless pipes with my idea of a muffler. Some steel side covers (this bike was full of plastic) A sort of sissybar, a numberplate holder…. I can go on for ever…

Cheers;

Bjorn

Dude, your bike is great. Davidoff Chenkenov ought to dig it. Maybe he’ll realize through the building of a custom metric bobber that the Lakers are the bandwagon and he wants to get off to ride solo on a (bleeping) (bleepass) (bleeper).

Okay, Bjorn, I know you’re still working on this bike and bucks are an issue, so hopefully you don’t you mind if I give you some advice. Pretend that I care about you as a person and that I know what I’m talking about. If you merge the top pipe with the bottom and make a 2-into-1 above the primary, you’ll have more power…. if you can get away with it, and an ultra clean look. You’ll chop a few pounds off in tubing weight, too. Save the old exhaust setup for bureaucratic bull***t…. I mean “inspection.”
