I wouldn't call it a chopper, but I would call it one fine bike!

Chopper or not, it looks like a custom that you can actually go the distance on. Never could figure out why someone would spend time and money making a motorcycle virtually unrideable unless you call going for coffee a motorcycle trip.

spent half an hour on a friends rigid frame chopper back in the early 80's and after about 20 minutes i couldn't wait to give it back to him . maybe he did a bad job building it , or maybe they all bounce your kidneys around and rattle your teeth . i'll stick with something that has suspension on the back end .
yours is a gorgeous bike and i'd ride it rather than any 'true chopper' i've ever seen .

As a child of the '70's, that is righteous. It's not chopped, but it's still cool AF.

Nice looking bike though. Don't know if you did the work or if you had it done but it is a tasteful collection of upgrades and a nice paint job.
Hey man I'm just curious what a "proper chopper" is? I have a "production" chopper and it definitely doesn't ride like any production bike I've had but I have to say it doesn't ride bad either. It is a softail so I can actually ride further than the next bar even with a herniated disc!!

Falcon that is one good looking custom bike/chopper. Nicely done!
