This Rocking Chopper has been made from galvanised pipe, leaf springs, coil springs, rolled sections of checker plate and a few more bits and pieces. It was then washed down with hydrochloric acid, hosed off, and left to rust. Once it had a decent coating of rust it was then wire brushed, treated and finally clear coated.
This rocking horse/chopper is incredibly stable, and a similar one I made has regularly held 4 kids at once, standing and sitting in all sorts of positions, without ever tipping over. I can't say the same when drunken fathers have rocking competitions at parties though!
Dimensions are-
Length: 130cm
Width of rockers: 38cm
Handlebar height: 60cm
Handlebar width: 45cm
Seat height: 30cm
Rear wheel width: 160mm
If you think you can make one better yourself, then good luck getting it to balance and rock. This one almost rocks by itself. I guarantee you will have a few sitting in your garden before you get it right!
I have made a few of these in the past that had coffin tanks, two pistons for motor, springer front ends, sissy bars, custom paint jobs etc, and will be making some more soon. But, if you like that Junkyard, Ratrod look then this may be the "Rocking Chopper" for you!
This Rocking Chopper has been SOLD. 3 more currently being made, with piston motors, coffin tanks etc
