Thompson Choppers primary business is building bagger, motorcycle & chopper frames. We offer frames built to any specifications including Baggers, Hardtail.
Welcome To The Chopper Builders Handbook Online The primary objective of the Chopper Builders handbook is to provide basic information that will enable everyone to successfully build their own Chopper from scratch. Update April 27, 2017 On the Road Again I've got Canned Heat playing in the background right now.
It's good mood music for the upcoming move back to my old stomping grounds in Nevada. With the passing of my Mom there really isn't much keeping me here in Texas. I love this state. It's one of the last strongholds for independent thinking people but its time to move on to another place.
Unfortunately my old home base in Las Vegas has been taken over by the liberal robots so this time I'm heading up north hoping to find a stronghold of free thinking folks where I can put down some new roots. Update August 5, 2016 We moved into the new shop up in Nevada Texas on April 5th and figured that we'd be up and running in less than a month but here we are four months down the road and only about 50% ready to get working again. Update June 1, 2015 Sportster Projects are finally underway after many years. We've got two bikes in the works. One is a stock 81 that's going to get the 'mild' treatment and one's is based upon a fairly radical Paughco frame as seen below. 11, 2014 We'll be updating and revising almost every page of the site over the course of the next few weeks so expect some minor glitches every now and then.
10, 2014 Duane Lansing, of Hydro-Fabrication and myself have decided to form a new joint-venture and start doing some collaborative custom bike work and parts fabrication under the umbrella of the 'Wylie Chopper Parts' company. 8, 2014 Various Springer projects are underway and we've hit the swap meets and shows with some new products.
That's Duane's Panhead with one of our wide CBH springers under construction. Brake components haven't been installed yet as we're waiting on parts which is typical. The Knuck above belongs to Kirk Sharp from 'Just Kickers' and it's being fitted with one of our California Ultra Narrow Wishbone fork sets.
4, 2014 One of our old friends and supporters just dropped us a line to let us know that they have a YouTube channel for those folks who just can't get enough Chopper action. I checked it out and I like it. Big Al and I have been friends for about 10 years but we've never actually met each other in person.
After watching some of the vids I think this is a good thing because two of us together could be a dangerous thing. If you're a garage/home/independent builder check out the BEOSC site as they provide just about everything imaginable for people like us. Click the banner for the YouTube Channel and have fun. 20, 2014 Darcy Allen and I drove down to Austin to talk with Jesse James about an upcoming project but unfortunately Jesse was to busy to see us. It just so happened however that we did get a chance to talk with Mike (Fass Mikey) Vils and had a chance to reminisce about Dick Allen. Dream Theater Live Scenes From New York Rar.
Mike proposed that we put together an 'old school' type Biker Build-Off that he's calling 'The Real Deal' and it'll involve a lot more than just bolting on store bought parts to a store bought frame. We decided that the 'official' name of the event will be 'The Real Deal, Dick Allen Memorial Biker Buildoff' We'll be posting more details as things progress but we've already got TV and sponsors calling so it looks like this just might come together. Click to see the tentative 'rules' for the Build-Off. Email me immediately if you want to get a bike project enrolled in this event.
