Chopper Fundamentals 101-TEXT BOOK REQUIRED FOR IMBBA CERTIFICATION Author:Scott Hansel Douglas Hall Why? Why buy this book? What separates this from all the other choices? We believe this to be the most well-rounded, straight-forward source of information, for explaining the system fundamentals of a working chopper. This material is written for any person who has ever sat in front of a TV and watched one of those bike-building shows and wonder... more »ed if they could do it. Its for anyone who has thumbed through a catalog or magazine and pondered the thought of building a custom chopper. Its for the individual with the dream of always wanting to build a custom bike without knowing where to start. In short, this text is written for the biker-in-all-of-us.
Intimidating or overwhelming could easily be used to describe the mountain of choices available to the general public when it comes to custom kits and accessories. Many of the components seen on TV can be purchased at stores, dealerships, and online. Every possible resource to create a distinctive chopper already exists. Combine that with a little knowledge and anyone should be able to assemble a chopper that truly reflects their unique style and personality. This book is a culmination of ideas, research, and desire to create a textbook for anyone who has the passion and determination to build that custom chopper.
This book is organized into sections that describe the major systems of a bike, first in non-technical terminology, followed by greater detail and a list of relevant terms. Illustrations in each section reinforce the written explanations. Designed with a kit builder in mind, this book is not intended to make everyone who reads it a mechanic or motorcycle expert. Nor is it written for only mechanics and motorcycle experts. Anyone with desire to build a chopper should benefit from it.
