Japanese Custom Motorcycles: The Nippon Chop - Chopper, Cruiser, Bobber, Trikes and Quads

by Ulrich Cloesen

Overview

Many books have been published about Japanese motorcycles, but none has focused exclusively on the Japanese motorcycle-based chopper, bobber, trike, and quad custom bike scene—until now.

This book looks at some of the fascinating custom projects out there, accompanied by stunning photography of the finished bikes. A great book for Japanese bike fans, and fans of the custom bike scene in general.

Editorial Reviews

"The book is beautifully Illustrated throughout, showing close up detail of quality chroming, superb custom paintwork and some amazing engraving. We found the book quite inspiring and it makes folk want to have a go at building their own board track racer based on an early Indian, similar to the one featured. An interesting book that will appeal to many a biker and enthusiast." - Classic Motorcycle Mechanics

"The nostalgic appeal for those of us who grew up in the early custom bike scene is strong ... a hardback coffee table book with class." - The Road
