Advice On Selecting Custom Chopper Frames...
Custom chopper frames. There are many to choose from. Once you have decided to build your custom chopper the biggest and most important decision you will make will be what frame to use. A solid, well conceived custom chopper frame is crucial to the success of your custom chopper.
Your chopper frame not only dictates how your chopper will look, but how your custom chopper will ride as well. It is imperative when you begin building your custom chopper that you have a design for your frame in mind. Do not just take the first custom chopper frame that comes your way. If you were an artist, the frame of your custom chopper would be your paint. Think of it that way. An artist does not use any kind of paint they create their painting. The paint is what makes it what it is, through the colors, the design, and the durability and confidence that it will last.
When building a custom chopper the same will be true of your custom chopper frame. It is the basis for your whole chopper and it has to be picked out and built with care.
Chopper frames (or a stock chopper frame) are the backbone of custom choppers. Without the right chopper frame your custom chopper will have nothing to hold it together. And it holds a lot of heavy duty parts...
It is also important to know the differences between the various types of chopper frames. For example, when buying a wide frame for your custom chopper you must know if the engine or transmission will need an offset. This is one of several important factors in building and designing your custom chopper frame.
When you make the move to start looking for your chopper frame you will need to make a few decisions. One important question, that pertains to chopper frames is, do you want a wide chopper frame or a standard chopper frame?
It is important to remember when picking out your custom chopper frame that the more tubing wall thickness your custom chopper frame has, the better.
There are a few different types of chopper frames you can choose from for your custom chopper: Softail, FXR, Rigid and Sportster. The Sportster Frame The sportster frame is used when making Sportster motorcycles. Sportster frames have different types as well. For instance the Hardtail Chassis is a sportster frame that allows for the chopper to have large tires on it.
The Rolling Chasis If the style of the hardtail chassis isn’t for you, try a Rolling Chassis. A rolling chassis can be any rigid, swingarm, or soft tail style frame with any rake or stretch in the backbone or the downtubes, combined with a front and rear wheel assembly, front end, and usually at least some of the tin. Sportsters can also have softail frames. These frames have no stretch and take a standard 180mm wheel base but the wheel can also be customized if you prefer that.
The FXR Frame The FXR frames can endure rugged terrain, rough riding, and are durable with more suspension than other motorcycle frames offer. They are great to have for racing bikes and dirt bikes. The Rigid Frame Finally, there are Rigid frames. Rigid frames are angled upward and have a stretched frame in most instances.
No matter what you choose, your chopper frame will be one of the most distinctive parts of your custom chopper. Remember your chopper frame is the essence of your custom chopper.
