Keep in mind, this is a 2005 Texas Chopper! Just 125 10th anniversary Texas Chopper were made!
The one in the video has the S&S 124 ci engine, chrome frame, air suspension & an open (dry) primary, just to note a few of the differences.

Custom built motorcycle with air rear suspension and telescopic ram front end.
Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukkah to all! (more…)
