Orange County Choppers

A custom motorcycle is a motorcycle that is highly stylized or which treats aspects such as frame geometry or engine design in an unusual way compared to standard manufacturing. Custom motorcycles are unique or individually produced in a very limited quantity, as opposed to "stock" bikes or "stockers," which are mass produced. In the 1990s and early 2000s, very expensive customs such as those built by Orange County Choppers, Jesse James's West Coast Choppers, Roger Goldammer 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) and Dean Jeffries from the 1950s, with a continued effort to keep pin striping alive. The choppers of the 1960s and 1970s fit into this category. Jan Bachleda (originally from Slovakia) of JBIKEZ builds highly customized Triumph choppers from the 1970s era.

West Coast Choppers




cc licensed flickr photo shared by onezilla

West Coast Choppers (WCC) is a lifestyle brand that began selling screen-printed t-shirts and stickers with the company's Iron cross/Maltese cross logo while founder and "master marketer" Jesse G. James was finishing high school, packaging the accoutrements of the chopper lifestyle long before any actual West Coast Choppers customs had been ordered or sold. Even after the company did begin building custom choppers, 60% of revenue still comes from sales of WCC-branded marketing tie-ins such as clothing, beverages and tools. Yearly sales of approximately 12-15 motorcycles at prices of around US$ 150,000 each actually lose money for the company, but are critical to attracting positive attention. Publicizing the names of celebrity clients, including Shaquille O'Neal, Kid Rock, Keanu Reeves, Ty Law of the Denver Broncos, wrestling star Bill Goldberg, actor Tyson Beckford, and NFL running back Jamal Anderson, is a central feature of the WCC marketing strategy. The other key to this strategy is the star power of Jesse G. James, presented mainly through television on the Discovery Channel in the Motorcycle Mania series and the 2002-2006 series Monster Garage.

The Long Beach, California headquarters of West Coast Choppers shut down in 2010.
