Chopper Chopper description

I originally built this bike in 2005 as a show bike.  Never put many miles on it - as show bikes tend to be, it was great to look at, but not great to ride.  A couple years ago, I decided to rebuild the bike into something that would be great looking and a lot of fun to ride.  It's been a complete transformation - just finished it up about a month ago (if you're a serious bidder and you'd like to see what it originally looked like, I can email pictures), and you're looking at the result.

Everything on this bike is either new or completely rebuilt,  with a killer new black and charcoal paint/powdercoat/anodized look throughout, and I have less than 100 miles on it since then - just enough to get the carb dialed in and make sure everything works like it should.
  • New Ultima 113" engine with new S&S Super G carb
  • Baker 6-speed transmission
  • Modified Boyce open belt primary
  • Pro Street Frameworks 5"up, 3"out, 45deg, dropped the tail in order to add a spring/shock under the new seat
  • New one-off gas tank with black diamond plate inlays on the sides
  • One-off oil tank with hidden oil filter
  • Paughco 42" tapered springer, 3deg
  • PM master cylinder and front brake, freshly rebuilt, new front rotor
  • Exile rear sprocket brake, freshly rebuilt
  • New one-off foot controls
  • New one-off pipes
  • New wheels

There's much more, but a well-built bike is more than just a collection of parts.  Take a look at the pictures, and see how the lines of the bike flow from the tank through the seat.  Check out the detail work, like AN fittings and braided black line for the oil lines instead of just rubber line and hose clamps.  The wiring and brake lines are all hidden, and the paint and molding work are fantastic.  I have pictures of all the in-progress fabrication work, and would be happy to email them to any serious bidders - you will see that all the fabrication work is top-notch.  I am a professional welder and fabricator, have worked in NASCAR, and have built several show-winning bikes along with the race cars and street rods that I work on every day - this is not a "back yard" build.

The starting price is well below even the cost of the parts for a motorcycle like this - if you've been looking at true one-of-a-kind motorcycles, you know this is a steal. 

I'm happy to answer any questions about the bike, and invite you to come check it out in person.  Pictures really don't do it justice, and you won't be disappointed.

American Chopper Welcomes Sarah Palin

Thu, 30 Apr 2009

TLC’s American Chopper will be featuring Sarah Palin airing tonight at 9pm.  The Orange County Choppers crew has decided to dedicate tonight’s show to celebrate the 50-year anniversary since Alaska became a state by building a custom chopper to honor the special occasion. Paul Teutul Sr. claims he was initially nervous before the interview but felt Palin was “a real down to earth person to talk to”.

Chopper Powered by Natural Gas

Fri, 29 May 2009

Claiming to be the worlds first, the compressed natural gas chopper was unveiled in Orange County, New York, by none other than Paul Teutul Sr., of Orange County Choppers (OCC) who constructed the chopper for the Chesapeake Energy Corporation. The build will be on OCC at some point this year, not many other details at this point. Hit the jump to watch the unveiling video.

Ariel Chopper on eBay

Mon, 24 Nov 2008

Normally when I think of a custom chopper, I envision something like Wyatt’s Captain America bike or even retro re-creations like the Harley Davidson Cross Bones. After all the act of chopping normally referred to forks and frames, not chopping wood. A unique ride recently added to eBay breaks from this tradition with a wooden hot rod built around the engine and transmission from a 1952 Ariel Square 4 motorcycle.
