Both the frame and hard tail are texture powder coated for a long lasting finish.The original tabs were left for fuel tank and electrics mounting. This completes a clean package for the minimalist look we were seeking. The custom Acme Choppers hard-tail rear section is set up to accommodate the oil tank,battery box,ignition switch and tail light /plate mount. Rubber mounting points for the oil tank,fender-brace and fender mounting points are also incorporated into the rear section.

All other engine components were re-furbished or replaced for a custom fresh motor. All engine covers were powder coated in a textured black finish to complete the engines unique and fantastic look!!
