Custom Chopper Kits
Kathryn Whittaker
Choosing the parts that your custom chopper will be made of can
be very confusing, considering the large numbers of custom
chopper bike kits available on the market today. Chopper
innovators like Biker’s Choice, Phantom Cycle, Paul Yaffe and
many more sell chopper-in-a-box kits available for chopper
enthusiasts. Thanks to these kits, custom choppers have become
quite affordable and are no longer necessarily toys for
millionaires or master mechanics.
Custom chopper kits provide the future chopper owner with all
the instructions and just about every component necessary to
create a perfect chopper of ones dreams. Jesse James, famous
for his Discovery series “Monster Garage”, offers a Big Book
catalogue loaded with individual parts and accessories needed
to create a fully custom bike with truly unusual frame
configurations and groundbreaking metal sheet parts as seen on
his TV show. However, the most exquisite details, such as an
unusual tortoiseshell finish of the gas tank, can be obtained
in your custom chopper only if you have your chopper built from
scratch by Jesse himself.
Before you start building your custom chopper you need to ask
yourself what kind of chopper are you interested in building.
Then you have to set up a budget for parts, labor and
inevitable cost overruns. The price of the parts has scared
many chopper enthusiasts from building a custom chopper of
their own, but if you have exact specifications and the time
and skills to invest into the project, then parts can be fairly
inexpensive. If you choose the parts for your kit at the lower
end spectrum, you will still end up with bike that will look
like a Jesse James creation but will still have enough money
left to throw a party when your new chopper leaves the garage.
When you select the parts for your custom chopper kit, try to
use the most genuine parts available on the market within your
price range. Sometimes even if you have a beautiful design
in-mind, you can end up with poor-looking chopper, due to a
lack of attention to detail by different suppliers
Complete custom chopper kits typically consists of an engine,
chassis kit, exhaust pipes, tires, steel tanks and other metal
parts, taillights, various controls, a seat, headlamp and many
more. The extras supplied with a chopper kit would vary
depending on the brand of chopper chosen. To finish your
project, you will need paint and sometimes battery acid. Most
chopper kits do not provide mirrors, speedometers or other
accessories. These you can buy separately according to your
taste.
To avoid unpredictable result, experienced chopper builder
recommend waiting until you can afford buying all the
accessories from one manufacturer. Waiting may not be easy when
it comes to building your dream come true. But when you finally
complete your custom chopper, you will be really glad you
waited.
