Here are some basic chopper geometry facts that I discovered in my quest. Probably the most important aspect when planning a chopper project is the trail dimension. The trail dimension is a large factor in determining the handling characteristics of the bike. A proper trail dimension will insure a proper handling bike with no surprises. A trail dimension that is extreme will make a bike difficult to handle and in some cases down right dangerous. ![]() A stock setup with normal rake and trail dimensions. With the trail dimension somewhere between 2 to 4 inches, the bike will handle easily at both high and low speeds. Flowing smoothly through curves without swaying or wobbling. ![]() The rake angle is increased at the neck. If the trail dimension is too great, the bike will handle sluggishly at high speeds. It will seem almost too steady. You will have trouble balancing your bike at lower speeds, or on winding roads. It will feel generally sluggish and clumsy. ![]()
The rake angle is increased at the trees. With too little and in extreme cases negative trail, (steering head angle point falls behind the front axle point), the bike will handle with unbelievable ease at low speeds,
but be completely out of balance at high speed. It will easily develop a fatal high-speed wobble. Extremely dangerous! One of the major reasons that I decided to go with the AME chopper kit is the design of the steering head. |
AME Chopper kit is the only system on the market allows a stock frame to be raked this amount and still have the correct geometry.
Your custom chopper motorcycle is guaranteed to ride as good or better than the standard factory motorcycle, all the way up to top speed.
