That would be pretty sick too.

Did you ever get those amps?

I never got the whole "chopper" thing...but at least if it's new construction, it doesn't contribute to the hacking up of classic bikes that ought to be left alone //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Personally, I like a clean bobber/cafe racer myself...

Why do they cost so much? (I don't know the first thing about bikes, I just thought they were cheap.)

I'd look for a local builder first to see what they could offer. I know there's plenty around DFW.

http://www.martinbrosbikes.com/ for one.

Big Bear Choppers are better quality bikes than big dog. My stepdad just built a Big Bear from the frame up for a guy and it turned out great, if it was still in the garage for the tune up i woild grab a picture for you. But if you have any questions about choppers as me and ill talk to my step dad for you.

Don't waste your money on some gay-*** Big Dog billet barge. They won't hold their value and $30,000 for something you won't ride everyday is just stupid. Build your own.

I built this one 2 years ago and after it was all said and done, I had less than $4,000 in it out of my pocket. Plus, you won't see another one like it.

I have basic metal skills at best, but I learned a lot along the way.
