As result of my employment in the U.S Air Force I've been deployed to the sandier regions of this world. Upon my arrival in 2008, I met and worked with a group of familiar and unfamiliar faces. Shortly after I began work, I received the nickname "Shop," all my life my nickname had been "Bish," but never "Shop." Of coarse if you haven't already figured it out, my last name is Bishop. At first I wasn't quite sure what to think of the new nickname but it grew on me, mainly because the previous name of "Bish," often sounded like the Webster's dictionary definition of a female dog. The name "Shop" stuck and that's what my friends from the desert still call me today. So long story short my current Chops and my future Chops will be known as "Shops Chops."
When I decided to do this XS1100 Bobber on 16 Dec 2008, I hoped that if I documented everything, it might make it easier for others making their own Bobber or Chopper projects. I hope that you find this Blog helpful. I've added links and as many part numbers and locations as I could find. I've also added a email form for any questions, comments, or pics of your project. I promise I will reply personally to all messages. Feel free to browse the pages, the posts are constantly updated, with the exception of deployments back to the sandy land, in that case it will pick up after my arrival home.
Thank You for visiting "Shops Chops" and I hope you enjoy it!
Your Friend,
Shop
