Like I said Ian, I was "half way" kidding there. If somebody has an old Meriden Twin engine layin' around, then why not attempt something like a chopper I suppose.
But almost without exception, as I think I've maybe seen one or two nice looking Triumph choppers in my life, usually the person building them makes the mistake of placing the gastank WAY too high up on the frame and making the "little" 650 engine look even smaller than it is, which also leaves WAY too much open space between the bottom the the tank and the rocker covers. I think it makes the chopper look too "spindly", for want of another word. That's why I think a V-twin's massive look makes by far the best looking choppers.
(BTW, I'm not talkin' Triumph bobbers here, as I think the proportions of those babies look "right", in my opinion anyway)
