Custom Chopper Motorcycles
Video slide show – Custom Chopper Motorcycles
What chopper rider doesn’t like to look at other cool bikes?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: A chopper is a type of custom motorcycle which emerged in California in the late 1950s. The chopper is perhaps the most extreme of all custom styles, often using radically modified steering angles and lengthened forks for a stretched-out appearance. They can be built from an original motorcycle which is modified (“chopped”) or built from scratch. Some of the characteristic features of choppers are long front ends with extended forks often coupled with an increased rake angle, hardtail frames (frames without rear suspension), very tall “ape hanger” or very short “drag” handlebars, lengthened or stretched frames, and larger than stock front wheels. The “sissy bar”, a set of tubes that connect the rear fender with the frame, and which are often extended several feet high, is a signature feature on many choppers. Perhaps the best known choppers are the two customized Harley-Davidsons, the “Captain America” and “Billy Bike”, seen in the 1969 film Easy Rider. Read more 
American Chopper
MLB Chopper built by American Chopper
Only in america, not my taste but when it comes to crazy looking things Paul junior is the man! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsJTMTyxtMM These bikes Orange County builds aren’t built to be daily riders or even casual riders, these bikes are usually parked somewhere in some store on display or someones personal collection. We know the damn things aren’t practical and most of you if you don’t like baseball you probably won’t like this bike. Not my style of chopper either but if I had opportunity to own one for next to nothing I would take it… Read more

Crazy long front forks and handlebars on chopper motorcycles. Radical Chopper Motorcycles:
It seems there are people who always want to take a look to its extreme or radical possibility. Unfortunately, when doing this, especially on an auto or motorcycle handling and therefore safety are compromised.
Yes, it’s one thing to put on a long front end just for shows, but to actually operate a motorcycle with one of these radical extended front ends and extreme rake, is just an accident waiting to happen! Read more

Big Dog k9 motorcycle ride
The motorcycle in this video is a Big Dog K9 motorcycle with an S&S 117 in.³ fuel injected V-Twin engine. This video shows part of my ride from Orange County California to San Diego CA. The video was shot with a Samsung Gear 360 camera. Watch the Big Dog k9 motorcycle ride below:
This Samsung camera is a relatively small 360° camera that can be mounted using standard GoPro mounts. I’m riding the Big Dog with the camera is mounted on the right side of my helmet.
I’m also using Corel Video Studio X10 to edit the footage and convert it from 360° video into standard video. Read more

Radical Choppers
Radical Choppers – taking it too far!
For me the first thing that comes to mind when watching this video is that these bikers have taken it way too far as far as extended front ends go. Having a super long extended front end like this really changes the whole geometry of the motorcycle. I just have to believe that riding a motorcycle with such a long front end is really an accident waiting to happen. Plus, what about cornering and maneuverability?
Sure, I can appreciate bikers modifying their rights to suit their own individuality, but if they intend to ride these custom creations, I think safety has to factor into any modifications.
These motorcycles are just impractical and stupid. Make a bike uncomfortable and plan unsafe for the rider & anyone else around when they loses control. Read more

Currently, here in the United States,, the chopper motorcycle look as stated in popularity and been replaced by the ‘bagger’ motorcycle. The bagger style motorcycle usually refers to a Harley or other large motorcycle that has saddlebags. Usually, a chopper motorcycle enthusiast wouldn’t be caught dead on one of these baggers! but, I bet the same could be true for a bagger motorcycle enthusiast attitude toward the chopper motorcycle.

Old School Chopper – Harley Chopper
Old School Choppers – From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
In the post-World War II United States, servicemen returning home from the war started removing all parts deemed too big, heavy, ugly, or not essential to the basic function of the motorcycle, such as fenders, turn indicators, and even front brakes. The large, spring-suspended saddles were also removed in order to sit as low as possible on the motorcycle’s frame. These machines were lightened to improve performance for dirt-track racing and mud racing. In California dry lake beds were used for long top speed runs. Motorcycles and automobiles ran at the same meets, and bobbers were an important part of the hotrod culture that developed in this era. Read more
S&S Motorcycle Old School Buildoff
S&S Motorcycle Engine Old School Buildoff
This video is the conclusion of the S&S Old School Shovelhead buidoff.
Personally, being into custom choppers for many many years, I think the S&S motorcycle engine is without a doubt, the best the twin motorcycle engine available! I’ve seen many custom-built choppers where one-of-a-kind rolling art work creations look magnificent but for some unknown reason the builder decided to put in some imported, dubious quality the twin engine.
