How to make a royal enfield into chopper?

Answer 1

Which model? Choppers have extended forks, low seat, maybe a fatter rear tire. Shorter shocks or replace shocks with shorter struts if you want a hard tail. Clean up all the bumps and unnecessary items plus don't forget the custom paint. Change exhaust to a louder pipe.

Answer 2

the main job is to change the frame. I would get hold of a spare frame for your model, modify that then move the engine etc onto it.

The modifications include raking the front forks, (sometimes by cutting a piece out of the frame behind the handlebar clamps and welding it back at a different angle), replacing the swinging arm and dampers with a hardtail. New longer forks, new tank, forward-set foot controls and a new seat, bingo.

You should make sure you keep the crankcase horizontal so that the oil circulation works the same as the original bike.

If I wanted to customise an Enfield I would concentrate on reducing its weight and turn it into a flat-tracker style bike.

Answer 3

Well, by definition, a "chopper" is a bike "chopped" up to make it into something unique.
A "custom" is a bike built from the ground up.
Now, as to your question:
There's not that many custom parts for a Royal Enfield out there, so you're going to have to go through the same pains that the Harley chop builders (or "bobbers", as they were known at the time) went through, as you'll have to either build the parts yourself, or have them built.
If you have the Discovery Channel, or TLC (The Learning Channel), watch "American Chopper", "Biker Buildoff", etc, to get an idea of some of the fabrication techniques.
