Big Bear Choppers

Though perhaps not as notorious as their television star competitors from across the country in Orange County, N.Y., Big Bear Choppers has carved out its own niche in the custom motorcycle industry. Touting models such as the Lead Sled and the Knucklehead, Big Bear Choppers provides top of the line custom craftsmanship and design.
Located in the resort town of Big Bear Lake, 7,000 feet up in the San Bernardino Mountains in Southern California, Big Bear Choppers enjoys being located in a natural motorcycling paradise. When the white blankets of winter give way to the flowers and crisp warm air of summer, this ski-resort town transforms into a premier West Coast destination for riders and designers alike. With endless scenic roads twisting around and down the mountains, it is nearly impossible to argue with the innate attraction of the area.
However, do not let the warm natural beauty of their surroundings fool you; the professional team at Big Bear Choppers is committed to hard-nosed excellence, producing custom bikes consistently ranking among the best in the world. Backed by lifetime warrantees on frames, tanks and fenders – other components per manufacturer – each Big Bear Chopper is manufactured with paramount care and precision.
Despite being based in California, Big Bear Chopper dealers are located all across the United States, as well as parts of Europe, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. To become a Big Bear Chopper dealer, bike shops must be respectful and demonstrate top character to their customers, possess top industry knowledge and have years of experience with motorcycles and the business behind them.
Kevin Alsop, the founder of Big Bear Choppers, is a transplanted Australian who visited California in 1989 and chose never to leave. Eventually settling down in Big Bear with his wife Mona, he opened Big Bear Choppers in 1999. Today, the state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Big Bear sells between 100 and 130 complete unassembled motorcycles (chosen from its 12 model lineup) per month.
Alsop attributes much of his success to the dedication to detail his company provides. “It's the style, quality components, and parts that match the design [that sells the bikes],” he says.
Once individual Big Bear Chopper dealers earn the trust of headquarters in Big Bear Lake, a unique quality about Big Bear Choppers kicks in; with the help of a national dealer network, local bike shops can both build and maintain the motorcycles for their customers. By sending unassembled motorcycles to dealers everywhere, a level of artistry uncommon among its competitors, Big Bear Choppers offers customers lower prices and a greater emotional payoff, letting them watch as their custom Big Bear Chopper gets built from the ground up. If the customers prefer and are mechanically inclined enough, arrangements can be made so they can assemble their own kit.
Either way, from the initial phone call to the drive off the showroom floor, Big Bear Choppers makes sure its customers are taken care of and are always at the heart of the decision making process.
