![]() ![]() Bandit engines are superb muscle chop power units. Late model big naked would be preferable. ![]() A stat write off due to frame damage would be cheapest. Having been involved in building a couple of budget chops in the UK (where the legal/engineering process was much easier), I'd offer the following main points:. If you did go for it, I'd recommend a sprung saddle or at least a decent thickness of foam. Think carefully about whether you really want a hardtail on a bike for distance work. No, many of the "choppers" advertised in places like Just Bikes cannot be legally registered in Australia, which would be a bit disappointing to find out after you handed over the cash. It's a good job you don't like over long forks because there are clauses in the ADRs that specifically prohibit them, at least with big rakes. Having done all that, you can start sketching out your design. You'll probably have to engage the services of a Consulting Engineer who will both certify that your bike complies with all relevant ADRs and also is qualified to confirm that, for example, your one-off frame design is adequate for the task and that your chosen forks aren't going to collapse under the stresses imposed by those huge twin discs. There's a National Code of Practice on trikes too, which probably contains more of relevance to bikes. It does have a motorcycle section although it's rather sketchy. Next is to go to Dotars website to download all the ADRs relevant to an L-Group vehicle.Įither Dotars or your local RTA's website will also provide you with a download of the National Code of Practice for Light Vehicles, which gives a lot of useful general information about the legalities of constructing a one off vehicle. Your first port of call should be your local RTA to find out what they'll licence and whether it'll be an Individually Constructed Vehicle (which it will be if it's got a one-off frame).
