Factory and Factory-Modified Chopper Profiles
By factory, we don’t mean Harley-Davidson. These choppers come from smaller enterprises typically producing less than 1,000 bikes per year; by contrast, Harley builds upwards of 250,000 a year.
These companies offer several models that can be individualized with different colors and paint schemes, providing many buyers the best of both worlds: a great-looking bike that stands out in a crowd, and instant delivery — with a warranty. Some buyers use them as merely a starting point, modifying them with their own special touches.
