Featured Bike – Ripped
“Ripped“ was built by Hardcore Choppers of Sterling, VA for Jeff R of Fenton, MO. Jeff is stationed in Afghanistan fighting for our freedom. Jeff’s hard work paid off and it enabled him to commission Hardcore Choppers to build the chopper of his dreams.
The chopper is a 0 up, 6 back, Right side drive softail “Shank” model. It’s powered by a 125 cubic inch, 135 horsepower all polished and chrome motor that carries a 3 year industry leading warranty. The transmission is a hydraulic 6 speed unit. The primary is a 3 inch open belt drive with a hydraulic clutch for the extra horsepower. Final drive a 530 o-ring sealed chain.
The chopper rides on a massive 330 millimeter rear tire and a beefy 120 millimeter front tire. The front end is an all chrome Inverted unit made by American Suspension. The rear brake is a rotor caliper system made by Hardcore Choppers. Both the hand controls and the forward controls are all chrome to match the rest of the bike. All of the sheet metal work such as the gas tank and fenders were specially fabricated for the chopper . The paint is done in-house with a mind blowing shredded metal and living flesh wounds underneath to reveal the “ripped” effect. The beautiful seat is American Bison skin made by the motorcycle seat King himself….Mr. Johnie Longo. Last but not least are the Hardcore Chopper wheels to finish things up.
