THE HISTORY OF THE ORIGIN OF CHOPPER


Before the advent of choppers era is the first present era of "bobbers" derived from the word "bobbed" or release most of the load from the motorcycle, in general it is removing or cutting the front and rear fenders with the aim to make the bike become lighter and also Faster motorcycle speed and motorcycle becomes more simple.

In addition, the appearance of the motorcycle itself becomes more unique and eye cacthing for the bikers, the flow of bobbed is also the origin of the flow of "minimalist rider" former example of bobber is 1940 indian sport "bob-job" which has been presented at the show " The art of the motorcycle exhibitions "of indian scouts and indian chiefs who were present at the time with extra large front and rear fenders that almost covered the entire wheel as well as the luxurius 1941 indian series 441, while the racing motorcycle only used small fenders or even Without any fenders at all.
The size of a large motorcycle with completeness that is always full covers to be an inspiration for the modificator in that era to make the motorcycle as a beautiful art material for the re-or in the modification.
The bobbed and minimalist inspire the next generation creates a stream of "cafe racers"
And "choppers" will be a new era that is evolving and exploring the different eras of motor stream modifications.

This is the original look of Harley Davidson. The American Classic 750cc WLC 1943!



As we see his great appearance and impressive weight is very visible, on the consideration that the modifier attempt to remove the motorcycle parts or minimize existing parts.

And hereinafter is an example of Harley Davidson Bobber Style.


We can see the difference now, there is no front fender, engine guard bar, and rear fender trimmed to a minimum, as well as the exhaust tip in short.

In the United States during World War II, mechanics returning home from war, they began to remove parts of damaged and disused motorcycles or parts that are not meaningful at all and have no effect on engine performance such as front and rear fenders, indicators On / off engine, the speedometer and even the front brake is also released.

This is the transition from Bobbers era to Choppers.



The high and large saddle spring is also released in order to keep the rider seated as low as possible to the frame's frame, and the main thing is that the engine is reset to increase extreme engine performance, sometimes in settings for dirt-track And mud-races.
Footrest is placed in the very front replaces the standard footrest extra wide, as well as a wide front tires, large headlights, fuel tanks and large oil tanks were replaced with a smaller and simple.

Most choppers use unusual paints and colors and rarely become paint or in use as the manufacturer's basic color, for example the colors "flat black, metallic shiny, metal flake and glamor glitters" become an option for choppers builders. And also lately Many parts of the motorcycle parts that use "chrome" even chrome be one color choice for the motorcycle itself.
Choppers shop or more often called "chop shop" makes its own various motorcycle accessories, such as making the handle bars, foot rest, exhaust pipe, fenders fuel tanks, oil tanks and even own limited production frame and forks motor that has its own characteristics.

Below is an example of some motor bobbed era chopped:





We can see similarities in the above motors are: high bars / ape bar, front fork is long, the front tires are thin and the circle is bigger, foot rest / step in move forward / forward, exhaust pipe in cut / in Pairs longer, also paint / coloring motor is more eye catching and different.

With a very extreme change of factory settings making choppers quite difficult to control at low speeds but very very stable and comfortable at high speeds and certain speeds, this is caused by changes in the original frames that foxes by the builders, and changes in front fork Become longer and taller into one of the handling factors on the choppers, the rear end is in the design with the rear tires are very wide and large but small diameter other than that at the back in complete with an extreme backrest height can even exceed the height of the head riders themselves, then The seat part of the rider is designed as low as possible, the foot rest in the pairs more elongated fore and front of the motorcycle that uses the "high bars" and long fork front.

Thus, the history of the beginning choppers. Thank you.. may be usefull...
