A true chopper is a bike that has had parts chopped off, welded on, cannibalized from other bikes and has more man hours invested than dollars.

I think the sporty build sounds great.
PRECISELY my feelings. Its one thing to go out and buy a pre built chopper, but its 10000000X more fun to begin with a bike you like, and have vision for, and build it YOUR way. The whole point is to build something unique to your style and tastes.


in my ideal chopper, I'll actually keep rear suspension in the interests of having functionality and style.
