One of the most fun and enjoyable things about building a chopper is looking around for individual parts; this comes

For the better part of 2010 I amassed major components and came across some unexpected parts that I liked and had never seen before, such as the spare spark plug holder (which has been a hit everywhere I've gone, someone always says "hey that's cool").
Other parts require fabrication from scratch, and this is where you need to be skilled or rely on someone else who is. These are just some of the many purpose-built items on the Rising Star:
