i wanna do that to my chopper how hard is it to do? n will it make it non ridable?

 

[gizmo1]

its not hard at all but theres a lot of ways to do it. it is still ridable unless u rake it too much then its too low to ride

whats the easiest way i dont want it to low

 

[gizmo1]

i just cut a chunk out of the top bar then heated the bottom bar and bent it back. but it will kink the metal so u have to use bondo or sumptin
