Anyone here knowlegable about custom choppers? I'm looking at a few from Big Dog Choppers. The ones I'm looking at are around $30k.
I'm looking at their softtail chopper. It looks kinda like a rigid but with the added luxery of rear suspension.
also considering their ridgback which is a little more radical but supposedly not as comfortable for the long rides... havn't ridden either yet.
All of the BDC bikes have fairely decent 107ci S&S engines and a Baker 6 speed transmission. These two models also have a good sized 250 mm rear tire. They are MEGA loud too.
If I did get it I would probably make a few minor alterations by exposing the primary drive belt... looks cooler that way IMO... and replacing the 2 into 1 exhaust with 2 open pipe or something... and ditch the air filter cover and replace with something a little different.
It might be really fun to get a chopper... they are kinda faddish now though. what are your thoughts or recomendations/advice, things to look for, etc...?
Here is where I was looking at them...
