Custom Built Metric Choppers

Choppers are part of American history and will be through the ages. However, what are new to the copper world are metric choppers. Harley Davidson and Indian have always been the best known bikes for being choppers, but now owners of Honda's, Yamaha's, Suzuki's and Kawasaki's are looking to individualize their motorcycles in much the same way. Unlike Harley and Indian owners there are not as many options for places to go to get such work done. Often time's owners have to ship or transport their beloved machine to shop out of state and sometimes even multiple states away to get custom work done, let alone quality custom work done. You can't trust your precious machine to just anyone. Honda VTX 1300 and 1800 are two of the most common bikes to be modified.

There are some smaller cc bikes that are being modified, some 650s and 750s. However, the downfall to modifying such small cc bikes is you have more limitations on what you can do.

The other downfall is the custom work will easily surpass the cost of the actual bike itself. However, there are still many things one can do to customize smaller cc bikes with out breaking the bank. Custom bikes have always been a challenge and until the finance world catches up, custom bikes will always have more work in them then value of the bike.
