Gangster Choppers hitting the pavement for Smoke-Out XII "The Long Road"....met in New Orleans, Louisiana on Sunday and this morning we head out to Destin, Florida - 250 miles. We named our bike the "JunkYard Angel"

This bike build starting off with a washed up 1994 Harley Davidson FXR, an ex-Maryland State Police Parade duty bike and became Gangster Choppers’ “Making My Bones” bike. Stripped down to only a frame, motor, transmission, swing arm, lower motor mount, and an oil tank meant that the all the rest had to be fabricated from scratch. Starting off fabricating a Leaf Springer front end and kept going with hand-built gas tank, seat, fender, exhaust pipe, tag mount with oil filter, tail light, push rods, wheel assembies, top motor mount, and tons of machine work to pull in and round off the details. This bike is one of our favorites and always gathers a crowd.

Gangster Choppers Toxxic Bike

TOXXIC - You may be thinking this is a radical chopper! Actually, Toxxic had began as a 2002 Harley Davidson Softail Standard. First, we gave it a full rake and stretch job to the frame, a wider 200mm rear tire stuffed in the factory swinga...rm and some custom sheet metal brings it together. The bike went on to win shows and make a really cool feature in Street Chopper Magazine. Can't mention it enough - details, details, and more details. What do ya think??
