Back to the Seventies

Yuri is a boy who helps us when we need a hand during open days and shows.

Meanwhile, his own chopper has been finished for a while so it started to itch again. Looking around in our second hand treasure room, Yuri came across all kinds of 70s parts and made a small sample with it.

Evo Softail

Customer Sam bought all the parts from us 10 years ago. But after 9 years he still hadn’t build his bike. With the help of L&L this has finally become the result!

Handlebar for Retro Springer

During the build of this project we’ve bend the handlebar to fit the shape of the tank. The vintage look is achieved by working with a reversed brake and clutch handle. The handles are furthermore carried out in leather.

Huge turnout open day in Rijen

Rijen stilte voor de storm

Last weekend we had our annual open day in Rijen. We showed off all our  finished and rough finished choppers.

From early in the morning on Saturday the visitors were already there and the visitors continued coming until closing time. Of course, there were many existing customers, but we could also welcome many new faces.

The enthusiasm for our build projects and our custom parts was enormous. We have experienced this as very pleasant and therefore thanks!

Hydraulic Drum Brake for a Springer

From earlier on, the Springer had a mechanical drum brake with cable. Very nice but you couldn’t count on it too much.

For this construction we chose a drum brake with hydraulic power and also a nice look!

Forward Controls Made by hand

Forward controls are generally milled and cut.
But in this project we are busy with making a lot of part by hand and have chosen this time to make the forward control with the grinder, drill and by forging.

Tank with Special Paint

A special paint job on a L&L chopper hasn’t occurred for a while. In this case the special paint job for the customer has a deeper meaning in his life

Photoshoot – Yuri’s AttacKIT

You’ve probably already seen a few photos come by from Yuri’s AttacKIT, but now we’ve got the full photoshoot! For the photos click here: Yuri’s AttacKIT

A little recap:

To build a simple Sportster chopper, that was Yuri’s intention, who lives just a stone’s throw away from L&L Choppers. But, as you can see, it has not stayed simple!
