Hogan Jeffs has completed other Honda Dax builds in the past, but none like this. The New Zealand-based builder and member of New Zealand?s Quake City Rumblers, had picked up one of the little Honda runners and was planning on lightly modifying it just as he?d done several times prior, though when the wheel of a small car was haphazardly rolled up alongside the Dax, Hogan couldn?t stop the cogs in his head from starting to turn.

?It was done as a joke, but we quickly decided to see how it looked with some new front forks on it, and from there, thought It could actually really work as a little chopper,? Jeffs tells us.
Hogan started the build with a ?1970ish? Honda Dax chassis and a collection of parts. The pressed-steel frame was chopped up and new bespoke sections were grafted in, including a new hard-tail rear-end out back, while in front, a decidedly raked set of CT90 forks were mated to a modified headstock. The Daxxer?s stock set of 10? wheels have also been pulled and replaced with a thin-spoked BMX rim shod in a beefy tire in front, and a Fiat Bambino wheel in back that?s been altered to fit the Dax hub.
Above the hard-tailed framework Jeffs has whipped up a bobber/chopper-style rear fender that now seamlessly blends into the stretched chassis. A custom leather saddle was also created that rests where frame meets fender, and jetting up from the new hardtail is a set of custom brackets supporting a swept-back sissy bar coming to a sharp point ...
