Chopper Chopper description
Hello and thank you for looking at my auction!
....little
bit of a history about this bad a$$ chopper trike. It was built in 2010
by Angelina Customs out of Huntington, TX. They are
still operational and advertise regularly in Trikers magazine. Before I
purchased it directly from the owner/builder, the trike served as a
riding "show trike" for the shop and was at every major rally in Texas.
Needless to say, the trike was built right with every intention to
provide comfortable, safe and ultimate riding experience while kicking
some serious a$$ and dropping jaws. It does not matter who you ride
with, everyone (I literally mean everyone) wants to take a
picture/film this ride...people would slow down/speed up on the road
just to take a look or picture.....I know it's about riding, but it does
not hurt to be a center of attention from time to time.....
Ok, some of the features of this beast:
- Built in 2010 to ride and show
-
!!!Low Mileage!!! only 4,000 miles on the build. I purchased it when it
had only 2,700 miles and put over 1,300 miles already (and
increasing....). Please note that this is an approximate as the speedo/GPS was reset when I bought it.
- 100% street legal, inspected, tagged, insured with clean/clear Texas title (as 2010 Chopper Trike)
- Powered by 1915cc high perform vw engine
- It performs great in winter (30F) or in Texas summer (+100F)
- 4 speed transmission with reverse (shifts smooth, and as it should)
- Custom forward controls
- No indicator lights, but horn, headlights and brake lights work as they should
- Garmin GPS speedo
In the last year, the following upgrades were done to improve the performance, safety and overall riding experience:
- New Spark Plugs
- New Battery
- Flushed both Brake and Clutch system and put fresh DOT5 fluid
- New Electronic Ignition
- New Weber Carburetor jetted properly
- New throttle cable and rebuilt throttle assembly
- New wiring
- New slave cylinder
-
New shocks (I felt that with two riders the trike sit too low, so I
upgraded the shocks...now you will not drag your "tail" on the road if
you have a passenger)
- New fan strap
- New fan belt pulley
- Spare exhaust system (one exhaust pipe was replaced)
- Oil changed every 3 months
The
trike has some minor scratches from riding and also little rust on the
front springer and wheel hubs. Also, the leather seats are in good
shape, but they have some discoloration. With that being said, if you
wanted it to be a show trike, you will need very minimum to accomplish
that. I may be forgetting something....but you get the picture. I have
made a video of walk-around and riding, please see below (since I cannot post the link please see below):

I
absolutely LOVE this trike, and ride it all the time. The only reason
why I am putting it up for sale is my desire to purchase a hot rod, and I
cannot have both (I do not have a space). I believe that my starting
price is only fair from what I have seen here and anywhere else, and it
is your chance to own something that nobody has, one of its kind for
fraction of its cost! You are welcome to come and take a look, inspect
it, sit on it etc. but I will need collateral if you want to test ride
it.
For
the legal "stuff", I reserve the right to end this auction at any time
for any reason as I have listed it locally. It is always parked in my
garage so I can store it for you for any reasonable amount of time and
will work with your shipper if you need to ship it; however, all
shipping costs and arrangements are buyers' responsibility. It will be
sold as is with no warranty implied or guaranteed. I require
$250.00 non-refundable deposit at the end of an auction, and the rest to
be paid either cash, wire transfer, certified check or money order. The
trike and title will not leave until all funds have been cleared.

and good luck, Martin
