About Chopper Motorcycle Wallpapers

Before describing the differences between the Chopper's motorcycles and bobbers, there are a few things that also share similarities. Before getting into a chopper, let us look at what a traditional motorcycle is. While the motorcycle existed years before helicopters came along, chopper bikes are pretty old. The Chopper did not come out of anywhere, though, evolving from the 40s and 50s bikes, which were early bobbers, a term misunderstood today.

The Chopper, published by Gestalten, is the story of decades of motorcycle culture, starting with a 1904 motorcycle considered the first genuinely custom motorcycle, to biker gangs terrorizing the US in the 50s, through to Easy Rider, to 21st-century takes on an iconic style. Around that same time, the Chopper bike saw its image sullied somewhat since the bikes were also used extensively by motorcycle gangs.

Over the years, several smaller bike customization shops and companies emerged and began capitalizing on the craze for Choppers. Soon, Chopper enthusiasts could buy the frame, tanks, and Chopper motorcycle forks from catalogs and could build their own custom-built choppers at home. These bikes looked tremendous but were awkward and hard to ride. As the name implies, Chopper was frequently chopped up and welded to lengthen the frame, and obviously, from those new, customized chopper frames came a demand for chopper parts.

Consider a classic Harley chopper, a bike that has been extensively modified from the factory, primarily by stripping off bulky fenders and trimmings for lighter, thinner options, changing steering angles and chassis geometry, and choosing wheels, forks, and tank choices so that it would lengthen and tighten the bike, creating a longer cycle, which, yes, did not handle the same way the original did, and was generally not as comfortable or necessarily stop the same. Chopper-style motorcycles feel far more stable at high speeds and in a straight line than bikes that have their stock factory front suspension.

A bobber typically does not have a modified frame like the Chopper and is thus slightly easier to achieve. Bobbers feature a skewed (shortened) fender and, as with the Chopper, feature only the essential parts of the bike. Compared with a chopper, bobbers are more minimalistic and lighter weight and feature less chrome. Since the Harley bobber, just like a chopper, has been stripped down, it decreases the bike's overall weight, allowing it to go slightly faster. We prepared the best Chopper Motorcycle wallpapers HD.
