There is not a single day that goes by without more and more pictures of chopper bikes that have just been finished showing up in allrepparttar motorcycle magazines. Then atrepparttar 102771 weekends, when we are on our “hot” rides, we will see four or five show finish level bikes. There are more choppers around now than there have been inrepparttar 102772 last twenty five years.

Most of these choppers have been built from motorcycle chopper kits,repparttar 102773 “bike in a box” approach. But hey, don’t knock it! Building your own chopper has never been easier. There are rolling chassis kits, complete bike kits, and frame manufacturers give you a multitude of choice when it comes to takerepparttar 102774 plunge and buy a motorcycle chopper kit.

Well think of it this way, you are going to buy a chopper kit. A pile of unassembled raw metal. No paint, no real finish, just a blank canvas. Is your taste in paint jobs likely to berepparttar 102788 same asrepparttar 102789 next guy, who buysrepparttar 102790 very same kit? I don't think so.
