chop03
I bought an 03 chopper in 09 from my brother in law who bought it 2 years before and during that 2 years took great care/pride in his bike.
for that two years I drooled over rhis chopper and looked for one for myself he hadnt had any trouble with it and it was an awesome machine..
when he found the frame cracked wherr the neck met the downtubes bigdogs response sold me on the bike (assuming then they would still be here)
He sold me the chop I had been wanting and soon the elec. Shitstorm hit so right away I took it to a so called bdm tech to have a wire plus install..
after dealing with his shit work and my fear of fucking it up finally got a couple of good years
or say better years
so I decided to have xxx carb rebuild and skins re cleared sissy bar bag rubbed fender coat
get it back together and shit started again I was planning on getting it running and getting rid of it this time breaking my ass and nobody would fix it anyways finally found a shop to dyno tune it and dynoed low as hell and they said the carb was not doing me any good they checked everything else and all was good except carb..
Well it ran awesome but could feel power loss..
so decided to ride it for awhile then change carb in winter
while riding it it would die then run awhile then die so trying to trouble shoot a shit wire job was virtually impossible for me atleast
so I got to looking around and here is what I have been doing
I found scooters performance out of Florida
I ordered a wiring harness from him when it got here I cut out all the wire plus and bdm wiring on the bike and went to work with johns help the wiring was going well
I decided to order a 32amp charging system and ultima single fire ign. System from him as I found a hole burnt into my hi4
with john at scooters help
I rewired the whole bike if just a few days
I had the struts milled at local machine shop to get tailight wires out from under fender
installed charging system
installed ign. System
installed new carb
the new wire system has a car start type ignition so I drilled a hole in coil cover to fit new coil and ign.
rejetted carb till seemed good
put a led between seat and gas tank for neutral light since I broke the wires to lights under speedo
I kept blinker horn and bright dim in handlebar switches and since new ign. I dont have start and run switch I like that so far
anyways I have put 400 miles on the dog since I took it off the lift 2 weeks ago and even hit some rain and not even a hiccup out of the bike or any of the new work...
I love this bike and its very comfortable for me I have done several 3 to 400 mile trips when it would make it and enjoyed them all but reliability has been an issue until now I hope
