Synopsis
Choppers don't have to cost $30,000. In fact, a chopper built from the right parts can be assembled for as little as $5,000. This book documents the construction of four inexpensive choppers with complete start-to-finish sequences., Choppers don't have to cost thirty thousand dollars. In fact, a chopper built at home can be had for as little as five thousand dollars. The key is the use of a donor bike for most of the components. How to Build a Cheap Chopper documents the construction of four inexpensive choppers with complete start-to-finish photo sequences. Least expensive is the metric chopper, based on a 1970s vintage Japanese four-cylinder engine and transmission installed in a hardtail frame. Don't look for billet accessories or a fancy candy paint job on this one. Next up, price wise, are two bikes built using Buell/Sportster drivetrains. The fact is, a complete used Buell or Sportster can be had for thousand dollars or less. Now you've got more than an engine, you have wheels and tires, brakes, hardware, lights, harness, and some sheet metal. Bolt all that stuff to a simple hardtail frame to create an almost-instant chopper. Most lavish, but still cheap by comparison with many of the bikes built today, is a big twin chopper built from carefully chosen aftermarket parts. A RevTech engine and five-speed tranny set in a Rolling Thunder frame. Accessorize from the swap meet and add a simple one-color paint job to create a bike no one needs to be ashamed of., Choppers don't have to cost thirty thousand dollars. In fact, a chopper built at home can be had for as little as five thousand dollars. The key is the use of a donor bike for most of the components. How to Build a Cheap Chopper documents the construction of four inexpensive choppers with complete start-to-finish photo sequences. Least expensive ......, Custom bikes, choppers and bobbers in particular, don't have to cost thirty thousand dollars. A chopper or bobber built at home can be had for less than five thousand dollars. The key is the use of a donor bike for most of the components. How to Build a Cheap Chopper documents the construction of five inexpensive choppers and bobbers with complete start-to-finish photo sequences presented in full color. Least expensive projects price wise, are the metric bikes - like the Honda and Kawasaki projects documented here. Next up, price wise are bikes built using a Buell or Sportster as the donor. Check the sequence from Redneck Engineering or Motorcycle Works to see how quickly a Buell can be converted into a simple hardtail. Most expensive, but still damned cheap by comparison with most of today's bikes, is the big twin chopper built in the shop of Dave Perewitz from carefully chosen aftermarket parts. If you're long on desire but short on cash, this is the book to buy. The first thing you need to assemble that new chopper or bobber is in your hand. Spend twenty-eight bucks on Cheap Chopper and start building your motorcycle.
