Here is a pic of an XL chopper by Mayhem Custom Cycles on Staten Island, NY. I first saw this bike at the '04 Bike Show @ Javitz Center, and still love it.

When I spoke to them about this bike, the price was set at $15k. Not friggin bad, I think...

Great lookin chopper. Price sound about right too.

That's a nice looking Sporty. It's amazing what a lotta black can do to make a bike lookk great. Okay, I'm going to get a can of flat black spray paint and remove all that chrome on my bike now... well maybe not but black does look real nice.

the bike is actually covered in that "ckrinkle black". Engine, wheels, frame. and that subtle gold trim on the headlight and intake just look great. The points cover is that satanic goat thing. They are going to offer custom points and derby covers soon, I hope they offer that goat one.

Nice Chopper!!

Love the Black!!

I'm getting Ready to do some Black Powder Coating on My Scoot Soon!! :D

Nice looking ...... but not my style. ;)

Very nice, i love that look :smoke

Personnaly, I don't care for it. Just my opinion.

I like the black look, i'm getting ready to powdercoat a bunch of parts black. That bike has too much black though.

very nice I like that style and love black bikes all the chrome on bikes is beginning to look real boring

That seat's gotta be a nut crusher:helpsign

I like the black look, but like Sean said... that one is a little overboard. Don't much care for the coffin tank either. They still did a pretty good job on it though.

overboard on the black but still cool! :smoke

Nothing meaner than a blacked out chopper IMHO.

I like it,kinda basic and mechanical looking,
it would look good dirty also.

sorry guys.that thing is hidious

sorry guys.that thing is hidious

The one behind it's not bad!

I like the concept but some things(mostly the rear fender and it's strut) woul dhave to be changed for my tastes, but the blackout thing is very me.

to each his own I guess. But that's what makes us unique...

Ride with a helmet like Darth Vader and you have a unique look... not exactly a chick magnet, but the combo would scare the FiberCon out of senior citizens!!!

Chromeman thinks the bike is nice! Chromeman thinks the bike could use more chrome! Don't argue with Chromeman! Chromeman will pee on your leg!

:laugh :laugh :clap :clap :clap way to go collinsb!

Love the black. Gives it a menacing look. Even the accents are subdued. Very cool.

I gotta learn how to do that black paint! I NEED IT! Chrome don't get you home.

No Swanem, it's black paint don't get you home! It's complicated to explain the physics of it all, but due to wind resistance and such, it is a scientific proven fact, that chrome bikes go faster than non chrome bikes. Some very easy math can prove this to be true. I don't have time to do the math, as it is time for a beer and a Quater Pound Value Meal with a large fries.

Ftotal = (Froll + Fslope + Faccel + Fwind)/h
where h : drivetrain efficiency, dimensionless.

The individual retarding forces are described as follows:

Froll = cr m g where cr : coefficient of rolling resistance, dimensionless
m : total mass of the vehicle with driver in kg
g : acceleration due to gravity » 9.81 m/s2
Values for cr for typical sportster tires and surfaces range between 0.0015 and 0.015.

Fslope = s m g where s : upward slope, dimensionless

Faccel = a m where a : acceleration in m/s [m/s2 ?]

Fwind = r cw A vwind2 /2 where r : density of air in kg/m3
cw : coefficient of wind resistance, dimensionless
A : frontal area in m2
vwind : wind velocity in m/s

The power required to overcome the total drag is:

P = Ftotal v where v : velocity in m/s

Fricken engineers think they're so fricken smart!

Come on chromed out bikes dont go anywhere there owners are too busy polishing the damn things

My Garage leads to the World

Through direct Links. Veins in a Body.

Shining Chrome and Steel awaits Within

Behind locked Doors She sleeps. Silent. Waiting.

Dawn rises; a pink and blue horizon Beckons

Calling me to Flow through the Veins of this World

To seek the Arteries of Life.

Cover off; Door open to the Dawn

Starter pulses. She awakes. Living.

Rumbling quietly, Power breathes through Chrome Nostrils

My body responds; Chilled and Warm together. Pride.

Passion lives.

1st gear. Movement. Down the drive, That first Capillary to this World.

No cars disturb the Flow. No infections to our Dawn. It is early.

Too early for the Cages, Those Whores of 4 wheels.

Seeking the Dollar they Sell their Souls for Pennies.

Too early for the Children, Awaiting their Fate.



In School to learn Despair and Boredom.




There is only Me and Steel and Chrome. Alive. Free.

Moving easily down these Capillaries near home

Heading for the Veins and Arteries of Life

On to the Arterial Slab; Gears move upward;

Her polite Rumble becomes a Roar.
Wind howls. Torn. Ripped by Acceleration.

Hair flies back. Eyes become slits. Knuckles become white.

Mileposts flash by; Pickets in the Wind

The Corners pull; I lean with the Machine

Feeling Victory over forces of Gravity and Nature

Who Strain to harm Me; To Defeat this Steel and Chrome.

Her Engine Throbs; each Pulse a Breath

Faster She Breathes; Stronger I feel. Grinning.

Leaning forward I strain for all; Her Tail fully Twisted.

The Needle at max, The road a Blur beneath my Boots.

Suddenly…… A Remnant before me.

Bloated body. Serpent of many Forms. A Retread Skin.

It waits In my path. No time to Evade.
Death looms for me; Ruin looms for Her.
Desperately I rise on the boards; Move my weight. Change the Forces.
Impact.

I rise. I fly.

She howls with the Loss of Load; She Screams at the Dawn.

I Scream with Her.

The road below. Nearing. Rising to meet us. Hard. Unforgiving.

Impact.

She Curtsies; Her shocks alive and fighting the G’s. I Bow with Her.

Rebound.

We fly again. We land again. The Skin of the Serpent is Past

We Live

Slowing now; Adrenalin pumping, Oil flowing,
We Breathe.
We Rejoice.

We have Fought the Serpent and We Live.

But for Skill and Chance We know We Die.

So We Live.

Youth has returned; Old no longer, We Live!

This Chrome and Steel Beast has Bestowed a Gift

I Breathe deeply of the Gift.

She cannot live without me.

I cannot live without her.


We will ride again to Seek the Serpent




Whatever Form He takes

For the Serpent is Youth.

The Serpent is Life

……….Pariah

:lmaorof AWWWW release that inner chrome in ya! :laugh

I have a matt black inside with occasional flames and some maltese cross's and skulls flying around for good measure. On a good day I have some purple hues as well :tour

Very well rounded there Gordy! :wonderlan

Don't forget about the added weight of chrome though! Smooth steel or clear coated paint should be faster, right?

Ahhh.........let us not forget how the smoooooth chrome lets the air molecules slide right on by! :smoke :rolleyes: :chop
