Custom Chopper
>

 

 

The design is based around mass producing the essential mechanical workings and then attaching modular section so the user could make the bike (custom) their own.

My aim was to produce a contemporary custom chopper concept.

Early sketch work

 

 

Key features

Componant parts

 

The design allows for extreme amount of customization due to placement of mechanical components e.g. fuel tank at the rear allows for the top section to be a styled storage compartment.

 

Framework

Fixed through a top engine facade the engine forms part of the structure. The floating seat illusion was inspired by the old sprung seats and adds flow through the bike.

The key thing I was aiming for was to capture the essence of what a custom choppers about

Stock Components

Mono-shock suspension is a departure from fixed frame layout but provides better comfort and increases the modern feel.

A unique layout drive system sees an additional drive rod go through the suspension pivot point, eliminating any slack through movement.
