Less is More
by NorCal. -TPJ Customs-, custom bike builder Bryan Shimke.
There are plenty of big name featured parts -- among them, a Revtech six-speed transmission, BDL clutch, Pro-one triple trees and Performance Machine calipers -- many of the parts are the creation of TPJ Customs.

NYC Kustoms
Many of today’s top designers have been influenced by the unique look and style of New York City Choppers and now Southampton Motorcycle Company. With an eye for the artistic, Nick Genender and his crew conceive and build rugged, functional bikes that are as unmistakable as they are fun to ride. From high-tech choppers to the coolest old-school bobbers and with engine types from Knuckleheads to Evolutions, all NYC Choppers Motorcycles are handcrafted, artistic one of a kind masterpieces.

When the engines, all provisions appear to have been tested: the flat, parallel, online and even star whose distribution is mostly routed (one model uses a distribution tree and bevel).
