The basis for the LSC is a hardtail frame with 4-inch stretch, 8-inch rise, and 38-degree rake in the neck. Triple trees add another four degrees, for a total of 42 degrees of fork rake. Forks are 12-inch-over telescopics, and combine with the tall frame for an extreme stance. A 124-cubic-inch S&S engine is fitted to this example, but 107- and 113-cubic-inch versions are also available. The 6-speed transmission has right-side belt drive.
The wheels shown are AIH's Lonestars; their design is echoed in the brake rotors and drive pulley. Two features of the LSC not found on many choppers are the strutless rear fender, which provides a cleaner appearance, and dual front brakes for better stopping power.

LSC Chopper Pictures
The LSC chopper from American IronHorse features a hardtail frame and six-speed transmission. Below you'll find more pictures and details of this unique chopper.
It may be a "factory" bike, but the LSC boasts plenty of custom touches, such as the sculpted front and rear fenders. The LSC's slender oil tank allows a lower seat height.
Dual front disc brakes are a welcome sight on a chopper with 124 cubic inches of power. Note the duplication of the wheel pattern in the disc hub.
