A comparison of the two types of parts is often contrary to what many people assume.

Custom Motorcycles – Custom Motorcycle Parts
Custom motorcycles have come a long way in the past several decades or so. In the Fifties and Sixties, if you wanted a chopper, you bought a stock Harley or Indian motorcycle and then proceeded to chop off anything that was deemed unnecessary. You would chop off the fenders, replace the seat, drag out the front wheel, and perhaps weld on some massive ape hanger handlebars. Custom bikes were the domain of the back yard mechanics and the rebel bikers.
As the bike culture progressed and the modern biker with a nine to five day job emerged the custom bike industry progressed. Top line designers began making customized bikes for anyone with an expendable income and the bikes began to be built and designed from the ground up in lieu of coming from stock parts. For the amateur bike builder, however there is still away to relive the glory days when choppers were built in backyards and garages. Custom motorcycle parts are readily available to anyone who dares to try to put together their own bike.
