about us
 So where does one come up with the idea
of starting a Sportster-only chopper business? Well, despite the
assertions of some of my closest friends and family, I can tell you it
wasn’t something I dreamt up after having a few too many, nor was it a
product of the sleep deprivation experiment I lovingly know as my
newborn daughter.
No, I started Two-Bit Choppers because I saw a void in the current
American v-twin aftermarket when it came to cool accessories designed
specifically to fit the XL/Buell platform. As hundreds of you have set
out to transform worn-out, wrecked or otherwise unwanted Buells and
Sporties into your dream hardtail bar-hopper, you’ve probably
discovered, just like I did, that nearly no one has put any thought or
effort into tricking out the venerable XL line, and the parts that they
do offer are largely of the token variety.
That’s where we come in. As a Buell owner and enthusiast since 1999, I’m
fully addicted to the kind of power the four-cam motor is capable of.
Like so many Buell owners though, I became discouraged over time as I
watched the value of my bike plummet year after year. Selling my baby
for barely what I had invested in the motor alone never seemed viable,
and the trade-in values local dealers were offering seemed like a cruel
joke. Then by chance I came across the Redneck Engineering Mutant Buell
frame, and the rest as they say is history. Three months and a healthy
shot of elbow grease later I had a custom bike that turns heads no
matter where I go, and I had spent less than the MSRP on a new 883 to
build it.
 Like any great idea, the thing seemingly caught fire. Everywhere the
bike went people wanted to know how much? Where could they buy one? What
would it take to build one themselves? More importantly people began to
inquire about the availability of some of the one-off aluminum parts I
had made for myself. It was all the extra motivation I needed to take
the plunge and open what I hope will one day become THE source for XL
and Buell chopper enthusiasts.
Having worked in the v-twin industry most of my adult life, I’ve come to
value customer service above all else, and will do everything I can to
ensure every Two-Bit Choppers’ customer comes away from their purchase
completely satisfied. If you ever have a question or concern please feel
free to contact me directly via e-mail at justin@twobitchoppers.com or
give me a call anytime during business hours. Thanks for taking the time
out of your day to check us out and we look forward to helping you in
any way possible.
If the price is right, chop it!
