Update
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
Put a fantic small pulley V2 on a V1L joy subframe. The subframe had extra mounting points that lined up with the outer two mounts but I had to connect the two hole near the middle one in order get the middle one right. Also put a hole in the subframe so I could mod the trans fill plug with a nipple and fuel line. Then I can inject fluid with a syringe without taking the engine off to fill it.
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
Getting ideas for cruising position
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
Hmm , maybe a Lazy Boy off the back and a small flat screen at the handlebar . ;)
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
I'm staying tuned to this one!
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
This is sexy. Forward pegs are a nice touche. I like nice touches. Maybe paint it blk or ylw?
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
Hah nice. MORE BUILD THREADS!!!
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
Got inspired flipping through some Akira comics and my boy red-red, allred, mi amigo rojo, Johnny red, bosozoku bo helped me out with some on the fly photochopn. Should be getting more parts this week so I'll update with those as well.
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
Though I love the original look of a Fantic Joy I’m stoked as hell to see what this build turns out to look like
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
Don't worry I still have my stockish one
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
More mocking. Gotta cut out some of the bottom head light bracket to make it sit right and the seat is gonna be shifted and tilted back once I modify a bracket for it. Rear yamy wheel spokes are angled opposite the front cause of the side the chain needs to be.
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
this is looking so sick! love the pull back bars
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
Like the black seat better
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
haha holy shit using those fuckass ugly fantic headlight mounts for both headlights is so good. so fucking good.
are thw wheels supposed to be opposite directions? if it's an issue with the brake stop tab, couldnt you just swap fork tubes to the other side
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
He addressed the flipped wheel in a post somewhere. Its a yammy wheel and the Italians put his sprocket on the other side.

Could always just flip the fork tuberinos around.
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
I could flip the fork tubes but I'm not sure on fenders yet. The forks have the bottom fender mounts on the back of the fork and not the axel (can't mount on axel cause the axel nuts are cupped). Normally I'd make the wheels match but I'm digging the reverse.
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
Didn't plan on using the rear yamy wheel at fist so for the front I just extended the brake stop down to work with the front yamy wheel. Was gonna do a 16 on the back with wheel covers but those seem impossible to find and a rear yamy wheel turned up so I'm going with it.
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
But like, if you flipped the tubes it would still have the fender mounts in the same place just the tight leg would be on the left an vva so your brake tab would be on the correct side to matchy wheels
I dont actually care, wheel direction is meaningless
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
Nope
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
Yeah but I hate when the brake arm faces forward like that so if you could fix it that would be great.
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
pretty soon swoops be like
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
Yeah I know the brake arm is all weird out front but I I'd have to weld another aluminum chunk on the other side to fix that so maybe one day but no time soon.

Their the swoops because that is the shape their bikes make or was it the sound their DJ group makes? Idk I am confused.
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
god i love this bikes geometry. I still just think 2-4 more inches of fork tube to lift the font end just a cunt hair would go sooooo far. love following this build man keep it coming!
Re: Fantic joy chopper cruiser
