    Hey everyone, so I know there has been a little bit of talk about putting a turbo on a Briggs. However, most of these discussions never got to a conclusive answer so I figured why not try to get to the bottom of this. Here's my simple theory on how it should work (I know there are probably a...

    West Coast Chopper Build

    Here is my current progress of my west coast chopper build. I painted it matte black with plasti-dip (besides the parts I plan on welding to and I dont have all the coats on yet that is why it is so uneven).

    What kind of brakes do you recommend?

    So I picked up this bike for $60 bucks from a neighbor :cheers2: and I also picked up a 2hp Briggs and Stratton motor for $30. I pretty much have everything all planned out except.....the brakes. It does have coaster breaks but I will be removing the pedals anyways so it doesn't matter. I was...
