Default Chopper?

So I bought a Superglide custom almost 10 years ago and have been modding it a bit every year. I always loved chopper style bikes but wasn't sure if a Superglide was an ideal candidate. After a raked front end with slightly longer tubes, custom paint and king/queen seat here is the finished product. I know some people would say a chopper has to have a cut frame but here is what i got. Did I get a chopper out of her?

By the strictest definition, I'd have to say no. On the other hand, I'd like to say Excellent Job! I really like it. Can you give us more details? What trees did you use? And how about a 3/4 view picture from the front?
