A chopper is a type of custom motorcycle which emerged in California in the late 1950s. The chopper is perhaps the most extreme of all custom styles, often using radically modified steering angles and lengthened forks for a stretched-out appearance. They can be built from an original motorcycle which is modified ("chopped") or built from scratch. Some of the characteristic features of choppers are long front ends with extended forks often coupled with an increased rake angle, hardtail frames (frames without rear suspension), very tall "ape hanger" or very short "drag" handlebars, lengthened or stretched frames, and larger than stock front wheels.[1] The "sissy bar", a set of tubes that connect the rear fender with the frame, and which are often extended several feet high, is a signature feature on many choppers.
Perhaps the best known choppers are the two customized Harley-Davidsons, the "Captain America" and "Billy Bike", seen in the 1969 film Easy Rider.
Harley-Davidson, Inc., HD, or Harley, is an American motorcycle manufacturer founded in 1903 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was one of two major American motorcycle manufacturers to survive the Great Depression, along with Indian.[3] The company has survived numerous ownership arrangements, subsidiary arrangements, periods of poor economic health and product quality, and intense global competition[4] to become one of the world's largest motorcycle manufacturers and an iconic brand widely known for its loyal following. There are owner clubs and events worldwide, as well as a company-sponsored, brand-focused museum.
Harley-Davidson is noted for a style of customization that gave rise to the chopper motorcycle style.[5] The company traditionally marketed heavyweight, air-cooled cruiser motorcycles with engine displacements greater than 700 cc, but it has broadened its offerings to include more contemporary VRSC (2002) and middle-weight Street (2015) platforms.
Harley-Davidson manufactures its motorcycles at factories in York, Pennsylvania; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Kansas City, Missouri (closing); Manaus, Brazil; and Bawal, India. Construction of a new plant in Thailand began in late 2018.[6] The company markets its products worldwide, and also licenses and markets merchandise under the Harley-Davidson brand, among them apparel, home decor and ornaments, accessories, toys, scale figures of its motorcycles, and video games based on its motorcycle line and the community.
In 1968, Monogram then hired stylist Tom Daniel who designed more than 80 fantastical vehicles, not always based on real cars.
When the company was bought by Mattel in 1968, custom vehicles designed by Tom Daniel and others were seen in both small and large sizes in Hot Wheels diecast - and then in Monogram kit form. By around 1970, many of these models were molded in bright reds and oranges and did not require painting.
Ed "Big Daddy" Roth (March 4, 1932 - April 4, 2001) was an American artist, cartoonist, illustrator, pinstriper and custom car designer and builder who created the hot rod icon Rat Fink and other characters. Roth was a key figure in Southern California's Kustom Kulture and hot rod movement of the late 1950s and 1960s.
Roth had his shop, that he started in early 1959, at 4616 Slauson Avenue in Maywood, California (about 8 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles). He ran an ad in Car Craft magazine that year announcing the new address of his shop.
During the mid 1960s, Roth associated with various outlaw motorcycle clubs who congregated at his shop as a lot of bikers were then living in Lynwood and Maywood. Musicians, police officers, FBI agents and various people involved in Hollywood would visit as well, providing an environment for one of Ed Roth's most creative periods, and an important time in Kustom Kulture.
Roth incorporated the Iron Cross into his artwork (surfers had previously been using the iron cross as a symbol of youthful, carefree rebellion).[9] Roth did not own a bike at the time, so he bought a brand-new Harley-Davidson Sportster and then proceeded to paint its gas tank a flat black color. Roth painted white lettering on one side of the tank that said: "Love is Hate"; and on the reverse side: "Hate is Love".[16]
Roth had taken black and white photos of different bikers. He made posters, with titles like "Beautiful Buzzard", or "Gray Cat" out of these photos, and sold them at car shows.
That looks like a micro machine compared to the 1/8 scale one you did! Lol! I'm going to my brothers house right now to get the box full of all the models that me and him built back in the 90's. Looking forward to the next video!!
That's the Pledge clear coat that I use after you recommended it a long time ago, and have no problems with it. Great stuff for models
How do you apply it? Can you spray it directly to model or have to reduce it? Does it run? Can you wet sand it? Sorry for all the questions, but am fascinated by how cheap it is. Clear coats are expensive. . .
Wow Chris amazing built with bikes love the detailing and colors.
I'm a sucker for Tamiya kits because they're technical and I love their 1/12 bikes. But Chris builds the least expensive kits that are fun builds and great for beginners and makes them look great straight from the box! So it just goes to show that you don't have to buy the most expensive elaborate models to have fun in this hobby! He also shows you how he does his stuff whereas some modeler only show you what they do in pictures of built models without explaining how they build them. He is a good resource!
Thanks for watching and 'getting it'!
Keep up the good work. Always look forward for next build. I just got my youngest son into molded building we did the 32 sedan delivery coke just sprayed the 32 ford high boy and waiting for it to dry
heyhey Chris...I'm 55 & have been building models for 45 of those yrs , but I still manage to learn new things by watchin' the build vids , thanx again

Great build Chris. I too love Hawaiian and Tiki themed customs. This trike would look cool on a trailer behind a custom 70s van with a Tiki theme as well.
I still think it looks like an ideal candidate for a trike T'rantula build. Even those four headers look spidery.
Love these bikes - so much fun - thanks for building them.
I glad that you always encourage others to build a kit like they want to. Because I feel it help them develop an artistic mind and encourage confidence by taking a chance to be different.
I was looking at this at Ollie's early today. I ended up picking up the Ala Kart instead. This video is making me regret that. I have built the Milk Truck Trike. They are fun, good looking builds! I know this is a simpler build, but I enjoyed the shorter format compared to your longer videos.
What a nice display with these trikes another great job thanks for showing it.
What a cool trike ! Love the color Chris really pops , I ran into 2 new bottles of future at a flea market $1 piece grabbed them up .. LOL Thanks for sharing
Very cool!
Great work on detailing the kit. I love how you use the black wash, and sometimes black craft paint. Keep the videos coming. Hope you are having a great time with your lady.
Another Sweet Build!! Greetings from Manitowoc. Many years ago I used to have an action figure that worked well with bikes like that. He would fit on the bikes and he looked so good. I wish I had never lost him.
Looks awesome I really like the old kits they had class
Love watching you build all the kits I built as a kid! Keep up the awesome work!
Awesome! Thank you!
Man, I love that Inca Gold color! Another great build Chris! You build fast. I don’t know how you do it.
I've been using the new Pledge with no problems, thanks for the reviews.
Good to hear!
Looks awesome Chris. Thanks for sharing.
Another neat kit, and another excellent build. The ONLY thing I can say that is a drawback when using Future as a clear coat, is that if you move your kit from point A to point B in really cold weather, it'll crack. Happened to a couple of modelists I know, that brought their kits to some shows, here in Canada, during winter time. But as long as your kits don't get into cold temperatures, it'll be fine. And by cold I mean, like -10 Celsius and under.
Really cool. The cab of this trike looks a lot like the cab of the old Tarantula rail dragster from back in the '60s.
I had that when I was a kid.
LOL Great build and I just realized something - I have the same paint booth you do! Well, at least it looks like it. Got mine maybe a couple months ago - if it is the same then I know I will get YEARS of use out of it!! Thanks again for the awesome videos!
That kit is great!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 I'm going to build ALL of them in the series!!
Love that series.
Another great review, Chris. My modeling building has improved greatly from watching your build videos. I love these trikes. I bought 3 each of the first two trikes that came out. I know one of the next trikes coming out is the Milk Trike. Keep up the great work.
Great once again Chris love that color cool keep up the great builds watching you build the kits make a bad day turn into an awesome day thank so much
I also love the Pacific Island theme. As always color picks are right on the money. As soon as my daughter graduates from high school (3 years) I will be moving to the South Pacific, Pago-Pago to be eexact.Been planning this for a year now. Again excellent build and video Chris. Thanks for sharing dude. 👍👍
Sweet TIKI TRIKE!
Very nice build!! So cool! 👍👍
Those are actually pretty nice. May have to pick those up. Great job as always Chris
Very cool Tiki! Excellent fun stuff. Yeah, Pledge is the same, I have no probs with it. Cool stuff!
Great detail Chris, I really dig your color choices!!
Love these trike kits. Thanks for sharing. Great build as always. Awesome color choice. Great video editing as always to love the Hawaiian music for background music fits the build.
Cool build like the great look nice detail thanks for sharing your build from a friend in canada Rob p.s l have a old monogram TRANTUlA that looks similar
P.sl have a 😎idea idea for a Tike biuld
I have a couple question for you. 1. Do you sell kits? 2. If so what state are you in?. 3. Have you used acrylic paints? I did my first model in acrylic and seems like multiple coats are needed.
I am glad to watch your building of kits, gives me ideas. I asked one time about wheels on whether you glue or not. I did the super singles on the CF truck, they are great. Keep up the good work.
This guy is pretty cool.
I have been trying to make up my mind on a paint for a lowrider and I think you just found it for me lol that Testors gold might just be perfect
Best trike so far, I'm all over it 😁👌
Another beautiful build friend I love that you did bikes
Love your videos, keep up the great work
Thanks, will do!
I have the tiki trike. Not a bad model. But I do have 1 complaint. The body halves did not go together very well. I will have to sand the seam down the middle, maybe use a bit of Tamiya filler and then paint it yellow again. Other than that problem the bike went together very well and looks good.
You had me at TIKI
Great vid man !
for sure my favorite of all the choppers!love the Hawaiian music
With that jungle music I expected Skipper and Gillian to show up!
Another Masterpiece Chris, God Bless.
Superb outstanding excellent awesome job on the model.
I think one are called milk trike and it’s a trike version of the show rod called milk truck.

Great looking trike Chris, You nailed that one buddy. KUTGW.
The other three kits in the series are the Cobra Trike, Black Max and Milk Trike.
Beautiful work thanks for sharing man
I was hoping that the headlight lens wouldn't, as the Brits say, "ping off" on you there. lol
The body/ cockpit looks like it's from T-Rantula.
Do you put a lite coat of future floor polish on before you put on your decals and then put more over after you put them on it? Great build can’t wait to see the other 3.
The milk trike is the 4th one
Awesome work as usual, i use many of your tips and tricks on my build. Regarding the pledge product, do use paint brush if so what size? Or air brush?.
This should help.

As usual, a fine looking build!! Where do you get the washi tape? My hobby lobby only has washi with fancy designs on them.
Thank You!
Google it ??
Awesome work as always .
SOOOO KOOOOOLLLLL.
Mike Espo...
Pretty cool kit!
Another great build I was wondering if you ever built the GMC deserter I know you did a review on it but did you ever build it was just wondering
Very nice how do u apply the clear coat?
How do you apply the floor polish to the model kit?
love this!
Hi Chris. When you glued the chain/sprocket/axle part in place, did it seat deep into the frame halves? Did you test fit the motor with its mounting bars on it at the same time? My kit is fitting a bit oddly. The axle doesn't "register" in a way that I have confidence that the frame will be true when I go to assemble after paint.
I build so many kits I don't recall on this one but I know it was relatively trouble free. I would remember big issues.
To me the "body" looks like the back of the Tarantula dragster
Chris, when do you do the future coating, after everything is done? Do you spray it on or use a brush? Thanks
104 Kits per year???? Where do you put them??
how do you apply the floor polish?
Brush
👍
How would you get into that, if it was real?
Like a Contortionist 🤔🤔🤔🤔 ??? LOL
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Its a Honda motor not a Harley Chopper, nice job though. Good kit.
Correct, but people associate Trikes with Harley and thus the tag.
it's funny but the OCD in me cringes every time you shake the spray can when painting.haha
I think there's one bike that looks like a rickshaw...
