The Girder Chopper sits on a modified Killer Choppers hardtail frame, altered in nearly every dimension, including a 6-inch stretch, 10-inch rise, and a 55-degree fork rake. The 22-inch stretched girder forks provide the profile Thee Darkside envisioned. Spoke wheels are at both ends, with the front riding without a brake and the rear equipped with a Hawg Halters disc, paired with a 250-series tire. The power comes from a 117-cubic-inch Ultima V-twin engine with a custom 'snaked' exhaust system designed by Thee Darkside.
The entire motorcycle, including both the chassis and sheet metal, was enveloped in black, creating a striking contrast with the polished chrome details. This seamless design results in a chopper that truly reflects Thee Darkside's distinctive style.
