Bandit's Tech Tips

Bandit's Touring Chopper Project Bike

Three years ago Jesse James worked with Bandit on the construction of the first Touring Chopper, a cruising chopper that would do all that a dresser could but maintain the integrity of a custom motorcycle with sleek lines and a bad-ass appearance. These articles document the progress and changes to this motorcycle right up until a few months ago.

Bikernet Tech Tips Archives
  • How To Measure Correct Trail
    - How the amount of trail effects your ride by Pat Kennedy.

  • The Fork Stops Here
    - External stops are unsightly and tend to damage paint and chrome. Milwaukee Iron cleans up the look of your scoot in an area that has long needed attention.

  • One Piece Exhaust Pipes
    - Ready to roll up your sleeves and get your paws greasy? We're kicking off our Tech Tips with a lesson on exhaust pipe construction by Jake. He's got twenty years monkeying with Harleys and as you'll see, he covers all the bases.
