History of Choppers
Upon returning from World War II, soldiers seemed not happy with the motorcycles that Harley-Davidson and Indian, were building. The motorcycles they had rode in Europe were lighter, sleeker, and were much more enjoyable to ride. These veterans started to associate with other ex-soldiers to relive some of the camaraderie they had felt in the service. These groups of ex-soldiers realized that their custom motorcycles needed changes that Harley and Indian was not providing. These new biker guys started their "chopping" by removing or shortening (also called bobbing) the fenders on their motorcycles. This made the motorcycles look unique and uncluttered. They originally called the new custom chopped bikes "Bobbers". The bikes started in the 60's and in to the 70's and they started to call them "Choppers". In "Easy Rider", a 1969 movie was released which brought the chopper to become well known. This movie set the stage for a wave of cool custom choppers and custom chopper builders that we see today. People wanted a custom chopper and nobody was building them so they had to go build them themselves.
History of Bobbers
A Bobber is a unique style of motorcycle that started in the 1950's and has continued to become popular by leaps and bounds. Bobbers are similiarly to choppers in that they both have a unique look in which everything is stripped from a motorcycle that is not need necessarily. As an example- a rigid frame and shortened "bobbed" rear fender.
The main difference between choppers and bobbers is that bobbers frames are usually not modified where as choppers are oftened customized (cut and welded to the finished product. Bobbers usually are plain in looks such as not having chrome accessories and extended forks, in which choppers are known for. Bobbers are great because they are easier to build from stock and are usually hand built by the novice or professional.
History of Custom Motorcycles
A custom motorcycle is a motorcycle in which engine, frame and it geometery has been altered which makes it different than standard manufacturing specs. Custom motorcycles are usually made in limited quanities (sometimes just one), unlike the stock bikes which mass produced. Examples of some custom manufactures are Big Dog, Orange County Choppers, Big Bear, Bourget, West Coast, Titan, American Ironhorse, just to name a few, in which you can find on our site.
Some manufactures, such as Harley Davidson and Honda, include the word "custom" as a part of the model name. But in realtity they are a mass produced motorcycle.
