FRAMES:
These is the most important aspect of a chopper. This has to strong and sturdy to give that Old School and Muscle look.So give it a good thought.
Well coming to basics, it is of two types:
1.Hard-Tail ( no suspension)
Hard-Tail has been around for a long time. Their simple construction has made it a popular choice among chopper builders.Chopper was meant to be inexpensive, light weight and skeleton body.this is the reason why most "Old School" builder prefer hard-tail as it is an epitome for choppers spirit.
2. Soft-Tail (suspension)
Soft tail is a frame with active suspension. it can either be A-arm or swing arm depending upon the design need.It has an added advantage as it provides better handling capabilities to the chopper.But with added parts comes complexities,hence it requires regular maintenance and designing is difficult.
I would suggest beginners to stick to Rigid frame because of the ease of design.
