If you don’t know about Choppahead by now, then let me introduce you.” These old school punk rockers in New Bedford, Massachusetts have been building hard Triumph bobbers and choppers for a decade. They were kind of “underground” for much of it, but anybody trolling the web for bobs and chops that weren’t American v-twins couldn’t miss these guys.
Be careful, they spell custom with a K. I know that freaks some of you out. It only freaks me out when there are two more K’s.

The engine has been rebuilt, the tank and tank rack are OEM. The rear fender looks like it was made by Dan at 7 Metal West and is ribbed with a duck tail. Everything else is new or rebuilt/refurbished and the gold pinstriping was done by Charlie the One-Armed Bandit. I imagine there’s an interesting story behind that name.
Check out the bike on eBay and if you contact Big Truth and Jay, tell them bikerMetric sent you.
