  Many Americans who fought in World War II remained faithful to the Harley Davidson brand but they were not satisfied with the new motorcycles. They had found motorcycles in Europe which were much more impressive and lightweight. Actually being schooled in the service to fix automobiles and motorcycles, they wanted improvements made. Consequently, the fenders on the motorcycles were shortened or removed altogether to lighten the weight. Usually the front fender was taken off, but the back one was only shortened to keep the passenger protected from mud and water thrown up by the rear tire.
  
  Consequently, the term bobber was coined and the chopper was created as motorcycle enthusiasts made efforts to customize the bikes. The objective ended up being to use these customized motorcycles for dirt bike racing. Due to the fact needless parts of the bike were being chopped off, the word chopper to describe such bikes was created. Parts that were usually chopped off include big seats, crash bars, windshields, headlights and front fenders. The gasoline tanks were manufactured smaller and large footrests were replaced with forward-mounted foot pegs which made the cycles lighter.
  
  The incline of the fork to the floor was dropped by raking the front end of the bike which increased the bike's wheelbase. The phrase ape hangers was spawned when the handlebars were elevated. Personalizing the motorcycles became a passion for many riders as they took out parts that they felt were unnecessary or made other parts smaller. The rear end tire was made fat and the front side one was made small. A few riders began to make and sell custom made bikes as a business. The popularity of choppers continued to go up while more and more were being made.
  
  For a long time, the interest of choppers tapered off but there has been a comeback recently. Choppers that are custom built by the leading designers are revered greatly and in high demand. The motion picture Easy Rider with Peter Fonda helped to raise the attractiveness of the chopper. On account of the chopper's popularity, Harley Davidson released the Shovelhead FX Super Glide. The chopper is more than simply looks since the raked front end actually does improve performance. During high speeds, these motorcycles possess a more stable feel than the original factory suspensions, but there is also a drawback. In curves and slower speeds, it is much heavier and significantly less responsive.
  
  If you want a motorcycle that has been altered from its traditional design, then you should look into a chopper that has been hand-crafted from scratch. The controlling of the motorcycle is a lot more challenging and the ride is bumpy, but these radical attributes are necessary to get the desired looks. The low-rider style with its low frame to ground clearance, is a particular look that is becoming more popular.
