Fast Eddie, your article brought back memories of my chopper building days. Here are some pictures of a Sportster chopper I built back in 1970 and won first place in a local bike show. I machined and fabricated almost everything on this bike. I fabricated the frame from a stock Sportster frame by welding on a rigid tail section and a whole new front section neck, etc. I made the narrowed triple trees and made the handle bar risers so they screwed right into the ends of the fork tubes. The front end wound up so narrow that I couldn't buy a spool for the front wheel so I had to make a narrowed spool also . Note the SU carb. A lot of us ran them back in those days because they were a dime a dozen and they worked pretty good also. I made dozens of other things on this bike but I think you get the idea. I think this bike resembles a lot of the choppers they are building nowadays. By the way , I was a pretty good looking kid back in those days huh.
