In the 1990's and into the early 2000s, very expensive customs such as those built by Jesse James' West Coast Choppers, Orange County Choppers, or Ian Barry's Falcon Motorcycles became fashionable status symbols.

There are also companies that are bringing back pin striping, such as Kenny Howard (also known as Von Dutch) from the 1950s with a continued effort to keep pin striping alive with Von dutch kustom cycles.

Some motorcycle enthusiasts feel that the only true customs are those built in a home garage by the person who will ride his or her own creation. The choppers of the 1960s and 1970s are put into this category. Jan Bachleda (originally from Slovakia) of JBIKEZ builds highly customized Triumph choppers from the 70's era.

Some motorcycle manufacturers, such as Honda, Harley Davidson and others, will include the word "custom" as part of a model name. If capitalized, "Custom" does not denote a custom built motorcycle as described above; rather, it is part of the model name of a factory mass-produced motorcycle.

The "factory custom" arena has become the most visible in the Custom industry in recent years. Higher volume producers like American Iron Horse, Bourget, Big Dog and BMC build custom motorcycles that also must meet basic safety requirements. "Factory customs" allow the buyer to select from a wide range of options, paint styles, engine sizes and accessories while still having the confidence, support, warranty and finance options that typically are associated with major manufacturers. "Factory customs" typically do not offer the total individuality of a home built bike or a "one off custom", but they share much of the appeal that comes with a custom bike and many of the benefits of a factory production motorcycle.

For a lot of us, there is no better remedy for life than buying ourselves a chopper, custom motorcycle as a way to resolve a mid-life crisis. You may find some real bargains out there if you look long enough.
