Billy Lane's How to Build Old School Choppers, Bobbers, and Customs    
 

Author: Billy Lane

Billy Lane is the fastest-rising star among the high-profile custom chopper builders, and in this book he offers many of his secrets for building a chopper that will stand out in a crowd. This is the ultimate resource for any chopper builder—a book designed as a step-by-step guide to building any type of custom motorcycle.

This book also covers custom-building beyond the chopper genre, including the building of “bobbers,” an old-school style of custom that has been revived as a hot trend. Predating choppers, they are on the cutting edge of current biker “cool,” for real riding, and are much safer and more functional than choppers.

• Billy Lane has been featured several times on the Discovery Channel’s top rated series Biker Build-Off and the Monster Garage premiere episode. Plus, He was Easyriders Builder of the Year, and winner of numerous national Best in Show awards.
• This book shows Billy's inside secrets of constructing a complete motorcycle, from hand fabricating metalwork to adding the detail parts that will make your bike your own creation and stand out from the crowd.
• Hundreds of color photographs will lead the builder through the construction process.
