Your hard work resulted in a nice street custom with a 70's flavor. If you want to call it a Chopper,go ahead.

It is whatever you think it is. To me, it's very attractive.

If you changed the triple trees and got more rake out of it then I believe you achieved chopper status. If it looks chopped, feels chopped and the wheel is out further from the frame I don't see why it would NOT be a chopper.

Plus you have a very 70's inspired style. Its classic and very classy.

FANTASTIC looking chopper you got there!!

Who cares what anybody else calls it. If you like how it came out, then just enjoy it. Whatever you call it, it is a really good looking bike.

That's a NICE bike! As mentioned, 70s vibe which I am old enough to appreciate! I dig it!

Whether you got a chopper or not is purely semantics. But you certainly got an awesome looking bike!
