What is Chopper ?


What is Chopper? Chopper (Chop, Chop Job) is one of the oldest inventions in the US, but also a very old American folk art. The roots of the period before the century before the face of the face in different ways to protect the current throne. Chopper, Chopper until the beginning of the 1900s have gone through different stages. Specials, Cutdowns and Bob Jobs (Bobbers). They are also the forerunners of Custom Motorcycle formation. They all had something in common. Improve performance and change shape. Chopper is the biggest ever Custom Motorcycle ever with its own riders and unique rules. If we describe the definition and form of the Chopper, the Chopper concept comes from the English word ”chop Ch which means chopping, chopping, cutting, cutting. All unnecessary parts that are not required for driving have been removed. In fact, a motorcycle chassis was cut, cut and re-welded together parts. By changing the inclination of the steering head, the angle of the front fork has been changed. Therefore, the driver's seating position has changed, from the upright seating position to the forward sloping seating position. Due to the long wheelbase, stable driving was provided for straight-ahead driving, but it was more versatile in all driving modes, especially in corners. Other typical features are usually: Apehangers, Sissybars, small fuel tank, unusual paint. While a Chopper may contain all or some of these features, it may not carry it in any way, but what distinguishes a chopper from a bobber is that the front fork angle is different from normal. Either the forks are extended or the steering angle (rake) is changed.



The real first in the motorcycle community is the ”Dreadnought“ made by ”Harold ,, Oily” Karslake n in 1904. This was the first Custombike engine, De-Dion. ,, Oily) Karslake has transmitted the genes of constructing a custom-made motorcycle to his generation. In 1920, Karslake produced his second Custom Motorcycle named Karbro Express. In the 1920s, so many drivers (riders) had their motorcycles changed (custom), which led to the emergence of a brand new category called ’Specials’. Imdi Specials ”was a general English term used for making” Custom ı today. In the 1910s, there was not yet a subcategory (such as Chopper, Cafe Racer) for the Specials, but the Karlslake's Motorcycles are considered to be the Specials category, even if no one has mentioned it that way at that time. In the same years, “Cutdown“, the first subcategory of Specials category in America, said hello to the world
