RE: 1997 softail chopper
Now that's how you build a custom. Most of the other bikes with a similar style are cookie cutter bikes that claim to be "custom", such as Big Dog and other manufacturers like that. Yours is an actual custom, and it looks great!

RE: 1997 softail chopper
Personally I only like the engine
I don't like the gap in the front and the one below the tank!!!
Even the exhaust looks like me mothers-in-law cvnt, what a hole on the aft!!!
