The essence of the Rising Star is its custom-built frame, made in Missouri by David Bird.
Unlike more conventional choppers (if there is such a thing) where a normal motorcycle's frame gets "chopped" or unbolted, and the rear end is replaced by a hardtail, this is a complete frame made to measure for the A50 motor, and with a combination of stretch and drop such that the finished bike would see the exhaust follow the lines of the hardtail, and - as much as possible - a straight line from the steering neck to the rear axle.
The quality of the build is phenomenal, the welds are perfect, every line is straight and true, alignment is extremely accurate and the result is a motorcycle that handles like it's on rails.
