A chopper is a type of custom motorcycle which emerged in California in the late 1950s. The chopper is perhaps the most extreme of all custom styles, often using radically modified steering angles and lengthened forks for a stretched-out appearance. They can be built from an original motorcycle which is modified ("chopped") or built from scratch. Some of the characteristic features of choppers are long front ends with extended forks often coupled with an increased rake angle, hardtail frames (frames without rear suspension), very tall "ape hanger" or very short "drag" handlebars, lengthened or stretched frames, and larger than stock front wheels.[1] The "sissy bar", a set of tubes that connect the rear fender with the frame, and which are often extended several feet high, is a signature feature on many choppers.
Perhaps the best known choppers are the two customized Harley-Davidsons, the "Captain America" and "Billy Bike", seen in the 1969 film Easy Rider.
The huge success of the 1969 film Easy Rider instantly popularized the chopper around the world, and drastically increased the demand for them. What had been a subculture known to a relatively small group of enthusiasts in a few regions of the US became a global phenomenon. During the late 1960s, the first wave of European chopper builders emerged, such as the "Swedish Chopper" style, but Easy Rider brought attention everywhere to choppers.[13]
The number of chopper-building custom shops multiplied, as did the number of suppliers of ready-made chopper parts. According to the taste and purse of the owner, chop shops would build high handle bars, or later Ed Roth's Wild Child designed stretched, narrowed, and raked front forks. Shops also custom built exhaust pipes and many of the aftermarket kits followed in the late 1960s into the 1970s. Laws required (and in many locales still do) a retention fixture for the passenger, so vertical backrests called sissy bars became a popular installation, often sticking up higher than the rider's head.
While the decreased weight and lower seat position improved handling and performance, the main reason to build a chopper was to show off and provoke others by riding a machine that was stripped and almost nude compared to the stock Harley-Davidsons and automobiles of the period. Style trumped practicality, particularly as forks became longer and longer handling suffered. As one biker said, "You couldn't turn very good but you sure looked good doing it."[14][15]
The Digger became another popular style. Similar to the Frisco choppers Diggers were frequently even longer than earlier bikes, but still low. The coffin and prism shaped tanks on these bikes were frequently mated with very long front ends (12" over stock and more), with the archaic girder fork often being used to accomplish this instead of the more common springer or telescopic types. Body work was also moulded to flow seamlessly, using copious amounts of bondo. New paint colors and patterns included paisleys, day-glo and fluorescent, along with continuing use of metal-flakes and pearls.
Honda's groundbreaking 750 cc four cylinder engine, first introduced to America in the 1969 CB-750, became widely available from salvage and wrecking operations and became a popular alternative to Harley-Davidson's motors. Harley's then-current big-twin motor, the Shovelhead was extremely popular with chopper builders in this era, and use of the older motors, particularly the Knucklehead and Flathead declined as parts became harder to get and the performance of the new motors proved superior.

Those Trikes are the BEST!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍
I like them too!
Remember World of Wheels shows in the early 70s when they showed real vehicles like these ...great memories .thanks man !
I remember going to the old dc armory with my father to the world of wheels.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I gotta be honest. I fast forward through the painting segment now. If not it relaxes me so much I fall asleep. I work 3rd shift so sometimes I watch just to wind down sleep. I love your videos and keep watching for new ones.
I understand, LOL enjoy whatever you like!
I'm almost complete with the Torque trike and it looks killers and the Milk trike is next in line awesome build sir 👌🏾
That's a funky groovy purple color to match the groovy music!
Thanks bro!
Very sweet color love them both Chris...
Thank you! Cheers!
Another grand build!
Thanks bud!
The "Trike-Fecta" of builds. Good kit. Clever ideas. Well crafted assembly.
The puns are heavy on this build
Thanks RA!
Thank you for teaching people like me how to correctly build model kits.
Glad to help!
There is no right and wrong, as long as you enjoy yourself, that is the goal of a hobby.

Very impressive nice work as always
Thank you! Cheers!
"All forkin mad" 🤣
LOL
Great way to top of my morning after a local car show with burn outs with permission from our local police dept. Just keeps me motivated to keep building muscle cars & hot roads til l die! Awesome job on the Great Grape Bike playing on my TV. I got gel pens and l love them for gutter trim, its flows perfect for that.
Thanks man, enjoy!
Love these trikes - can't wait to see the rest.
Thanks!
Super-d-dupper build. Looks scrumptious .

That's purplicious looks delicious! Another fine looking model by the modeling Gru known as Chris.....lol 👍😉
Thank you kindly!
Very nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
At 7:20"you will be all forking mad"I love it Chris the trike turned out great!!!Chris would you check your sound either its my computer but I notice the sound goes almost to barely hearing it.Thanks Chris!!!!
I will check it out.
Listened from 7 minutes to 8 minutes and the sound was level on my end.
I built this kit (the original) MPC/ Kellogs "T-trike" a few year back. It was an old kit I found at a model RR shop for $7.
Nice Trike !!! Just for future reference that seat pattern in the hot rod community is known as Diamond Tuck n roll usually has buttons at the intersections of the diamonds really cool but watch edges of youe pockets those buttons can pop out and unhook from their anchor points ( got yelled at before lol) nice build up !!!
Nice job. Should of had some small simulated cookies for rear wheel inserts. Lol
Can't wait to see the big truck
Those mini Mcdonalds cookies they used to sell!
Beautiful build Chris. Double knit reversible bell bottom plaid slacks? I'm getting bad 70s flashbacks. ;-D
Pretty much!
27:52 AMT’s International Payhauler... you’ll need gallons upon gallons of model glue, Chris. Great video as always.
Plenty of Bondene here and ready!
@@hpiguy Right on!
Brilliant I wish I was 1/25 scale so I could get in it and look grovey
Roll out!
Not my fancy of builds, but you did a knockout job with this one. Love the Purplicious paint job. Almost similar to a '55 Chevy custom I built earlier this year.
Cool, thanks!
I have an amazing craving for some 1% low fat milk! And I have no idea where your silk shirt and bell bottoms are!!! Love this build and color choices Chris!!!🤣
Thanks Ron!
Would be interested in seeing your collection. Maybe show your collection one day.
Ron Vallance Chris has said on more than one occasion , they end up in rubber maid’s and put away
@@davidjohnmiller4849 That is so sad to know they just get hidden away, he would need a huge room with shelves on all four wall 10 high by 15 ft. sq. Or more, who knows his count by now. Cool guy, love his builds.
With 104+ models per year it would be impossible to display and keep them dusted and also not look like a crazy person.
I display my favorites in a couple glass cases and give some away, store others in dollar store tupperware, stacked neatly in my basement.
Another one on the wants list! Lol
Enjoy!
Another great job 👍 where do you keep all these models you must have an entire room filled up
Most get stored, a few get displayed and many are given away.
Testors transmission paint....uh err I mean testors silver finally makes a showing.
Yup!
🦅👍
That's 'forkin' amazing. haha
Indeed it is!
u must have a lot of models.. you should make a video of the models you built
Sometime I'd like to see you do a kit I've had trouble with. It's Revell 1/16 scale Roland Leong's Hawaiin Charger Funny Car kit in Skill 3. The trouble I've had is that the line lengths printed in directions are a bit too long and break off tiny parts from engine. I'd like to see a build of it with you seeing if you have same problems from lines to give advice to other builders.
If it gets reissued and they send it over I'd love to build it.
More smiles per gallon. LOL
"Fork'n A" Chris, nice build
Fork you very much! LOL
How long do you let your Rustoleum color coats dry before you handle them? I have had a lot of trouble with that line of paint needing... weeks of dry time without getting any finger prints on the surface before handling.
Overnight works fine for me in most cases.
Nice build of a simple kit. You deserve the little break you’ve gotten over the past couple of builds.
You got that right!
Great job, Chris! One question-have you had any problems spraying Testors’ Extreme Lacquer over Rustoleum 2X primer, which is enamel. I’ve heard pros and cons.
Literally did it in this video and on camera....
@@hpiguy came out great-thanks!!
Remember "DISCO DUCK"? Yea, the good old days.
semi truck?
mega truck?
Moove over another bitchin bike comin' through !
Great job on the build ! ✌😎
Imagine that bike or any of those bikes in real life....
You'd need a parking lot if you wanted to turn around 😂😃😁
LOLh, you wouldn't have to worry about turning around. With no radiator, it's lifespan would be measured in minutes...
Just a couple of acres for this Y turn!
All these Trikes would look good altogether on a road scene diroma.
Thanks!
Pretty cool kit, I personnally find the splash on the wheels odd. lol
Also, just saying at the end of your vid, 'round 27:26, you somehow cut a part of what you were saying to put the end of your vid. I don't think it was intended, so I thought I should tell you.
Battery died, quick jump cut.
Mooo
I get so stoked when you post new videos Chris!!! Thanks again for reigniting my love for scale model building. 🙏🏼 I just won my first competition too!! I have pics on my IG if you wanna check them out. @creative_man_dan
That is awesome!
Forking cool video....LOL. My next build. I built the others.
Thanks!
Do not make fun of the clothes I was wearing today LOL
Groovy!
Disappointed I can tell lol
