Relic girder front end3/9/2023 I caught this lovely BSA Chopper in the service department at Raber’s in San Jose CA (my favorite motorcycle shop on Earth) in July 2014. Here are a few BSA Choppers for you to enjoy: In the case of 60s- and 70s-era Old School stuff like you’ll see here, many of these custom bikes are time capsules, indicators of the times, the mindset during those times, and hardware and tech that was available to them back then, and often the budgetary constraints they surely must have been under. ![]() ![]() Choppers, Bobbers, Rat Bikes, and Cafe Racers all exhibit tastes, ideas, innovations, and creative solutions, all quite unique, and very much to the taste of the owner and/or builder. We love looking at custom bikes of all kinds, all brands and types. BSA Choppers were never as common as Triumph choppers, but they were out there. For the guys who couldn’t afford to step up to a Harley, they would often chop old Brit bikes like Triumphs, BSA, and the like. I had a couple of buddies who chopped their 350 Hondas, and Honda 750 choppers weren’t uncommon. Back in the very-late-1970s and very-early-1970s, crazy guys (usually without a whole lot of money to work with) were chopping everything with two wheels.
