About modern custom choppers
Custom choppers became a lot more popular than they were in the last decades because of the various television shows that present not only the way they are built, but also the lives of the ones that do this. You might say that television had an important role in turning the public’s attention to choppers, but we have to admit that they everything is done differently compared to the past years.
From the beginning we must say that there are an impressive number of companies that design and create custom choppers not only in the United States, but also in Australia and the United Kingdom. What is more important is that these companies have created their own brands that also include motorcycling gear and other accessories made especially for their fans. Television was not the only one that had an important role in attracting attention towards modern choppers. A lot of stars like Jay Leno, Lance Armstrong and John Elway associated their image with a custom made chopper and this helped a lot in popularizing these impressive machines. But compared to the old choppers made in the 70s, modern ones are also different because now big rear tires are used and the frames have a very solid look. However, there were also some protests against the manufacturers that destroyed the original spirit by fitting Japanese engines to custom choppers.
