Details on the 69 Chopper

The 69 Chopper was designed by Dar Holdsworth, Brass Balls’ BossMan. He was looking to develop a bike that contains unique, American made components that would standout in the crowd. In addition, it would provide significant value to the owner from a price and performance standpoint.

So late one night he got out his pen and paper and produced the design of the 69 Chopper. A few months later it was built and is now in production for the 2010 model year. The following are the details of the motorbike.

Since the release of the 69 Chopper people have been calling and sending emails and commenting on Facebook for more information. Listed below are detail shots, build sheet and video. Call the team at Brass Balls at 405-270-0995 to learn more.
