By the late 1960s, America’s burgeoning custom motorcycle scene included “trikes,” wild three-wheeled choppers inspired by the classic Harley-Davidson Servi-Car that was often used by police departments for parking enforcement. For Evil Iron, Revell’s Los Angeles-based designers started with a chrome-plated twin-cylinder 650 cc engine and reworked a rigid frame to create this far-out three-wheeler’s finely detailed chassis. Up front there is a skinny tire on a 21-inch spoked wheel, while out back a pair of reversed five-spoke mags wear super-wide low-profile boots. Evil Iron’s tongue-in-cheek theme starts with a smiling skull atop the sculpted high-back bucket seat that’s covered with a cloak which flows downwards to become the trike’s body. Other details include a double-edged sword, leg iron headlamps, and studded mace ball taillights. After Revell introduced the 1/8-scale Evil Iron kit in 1971 it soon became the model builder’s favorite fantasy trike. Now Evil Iron is back for the first time in decades, ready for old friends and today’s new generation of dreamers.

A chopper is a type of custom motorcycle which emerged in California in the late 1950s. The chopper is perhaps the most extreme of all custom styles, often using radically modified steering angles and lengthened forks for a stretched-out appearance. They can be built from an original motorcycle which is modified (“chopped“) or built from scratch. Some of the characteristic features of choppers are long front ends with extended forks often coupled with an increased rake angle, hardtail frames (frames without rear suspension), very tall “ape hanger“ or very short “drag“ handlebars, lengthened or stretched frames, and larger than stock front wheels.[1] The “sissy bar“, a set of tubes that connect the rear fender with the frame, and which are often extended several feet high, is a signature feature on many choppers.
Perhaps the best known choppers are the two customized Harley-Davidsons, the “Captain America“ and “Billy Bike“, seen in the 1969 film Easy Rider.
The huge success of the 1969 film Easy Rider instantly popularized the chopper around the world, and drastically increased the demand for them. What had been a subculture known to a relatively small group of enthusiasts in a few regions of the US became a global phenomenon. During the late 1960s, the first wave of European chopper builders emerged, such as the “Swedish Chopper“ style, but Easy Rider brought attention everywhere to choppers.[13]
The number of chopper-building custom shops multiplied, as did the number of suppliers of ready-made chopper parts. According to the taste and purse of the owner, chop shops would build high handle bars, or later Ed Roth’s Wild Child designed stretched, narrowed, and raked front forks. Shops also custom built exhaust pipes and many of the aftermarket kits followed in the late 1960s into the 1970s. Laws required (and in many locales still do) a retention fixture for the passenger, so vertical backrests called sissy bars became a popular installation, often sticking up higher than the rider’s head.
