Chopper Motorcycle

The main reason for redesigning and editing a motorcycle into the form of a chopper was to prepare the bike for dirt track racing and even mud racing.

Most motorcycles have a large fuel tank but choppers have a smaller fuel tank to lighten the load of the bike. As required by law, almost all choppers across the country have to have protective bars for the driver installed. Those bars, which are on the back of the bike and stick straight up in the air, are often referred to as ’sissy bars.’ More often than not the ’sissy bars’ can be seen over the driver’s head when looking at a chopper from the front of the bike.
