You don't have to be a professional athlete or movie star to have a West Coast chopper parked in your garage. Thanks to West Coast Choppers and other aftermarket suppliers making their products available to the general public, it's never been easier for the average builder to order parts, accessories, mechanicals, and other materials to build a quality homemade chopper with West Coast style and custom details. Author, journalist, and motorcyclist Mike Seate follows the building of one such chopper at the hands of Steve Peffer of Pittsburgh's Steel City Choppers. From choosing a kit and ordering the frame, tank, fenders and engine, to fine detailing and customization, Seate shows how chopper building can be done with a little mechanical know how and a lot of creativity and personality. And since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, each chapter also includes examples of choppers by other builders. Building a chopper is a major investment of time, money, and effort. Style, performance, and safety are at stake. Before tackling your own build, read How To Build a West Coast Chopper Kit Bike for an in depth look at how to do it right.
