G'day and welcome to...

          The Chopper Shed...

Building choppers and bobbers the old school way... machining, welding and fabricating parts, customising and chopping any make of bike to your specifications...

At The Chopper Shed, we do individual creative, quality work, but don't charge the earth.  It takes time, but the result is worth it. 

The Chopper Shed helps you build your chopper...

Have your bike (or parts) designed the way you want it... battery boxes, oil tanks, frame & tank modification, brackets, seats, sissy bars, chain guards, wiring, moulding, you name it, engine, wheel and frame alignment, machining, welding

Complete choppers built... supply the bike and we can do the rest or...

... come and work on your chopper under Prof's tutelage.  Save a bit of money and learn a lot...

Quality workmanship with an emphasis on safe and strong designs and practical riding that make your bike unique.

Enjoy products constructed from steel... no billet aluminium... you can buy that anywhere.

About us...

At this stage The Chopper Shed staff consists of myself (Prof) and a couple of  part time gu...

I am an ex art teacher who was drawn mainly to sculpture and technical drawing.  Bet you never made hot rods and choppers out of clay, fired and then painted them, when you did art... my students did!!!! 

I built my first chopper in 1969 and rode choppers which I built, from then until now (though I was pretty preoccupied with family until more recently).  I currently ride a red 1981 Harley Shovel chopped in the classic seventies style.  As I rarely drive a car, my chopper is pretty well known around Adelaide.  My wife rides on the back... for short or long distances, as long as the weather is not too cold!!!

I was a biker from birth.  I grew up in the sidecar.  My parents rode their bikes to work everyday and on long rides, with or without the sidecar and dad always seemed to have at least 20 bikes in his shed.    In my teens I began building choppers to ride... Saturdays always finding mates around to get bits made, try trick pipes and handlebars etc... One of our sons rides a chopped Harley Sportster and the other son rides a chopped CB500 Honda, which I originally chopped in 1974.  Under his ownership it's been modified quite a bit. 

I have been welding and fabricating and thinking outside the square all my adult life.  You can be sure no one else will have  a chopper the same as yours when you come to The Chopper Shed.

Prof just back from a 500 mile run... and ready to keep rolling!
