The Chopper Builders Handbook – Chopper Saddles

Terms and Conditions of Use

Motorcycle design, construction, fabrication, modification and assembly of various component parts can have dangerous consequences for the rider if the work is not done in a professional manner by skilled technicians and tradesmen. If the reader of this manual is in doubt about their skills they should solicit the help and advice of trained professionals skilled in their respective trades to assist in the fabrication of the bike and its components.

The information contained in this manual and on the Chopper Builders Web Site is based upon information that has not been ‘engineered’ or ‘stress-tested’ but is instead founded in the experience of the author and other custom chopper builders going back over forty years. In the legal sense the technical information you will be reading is based upon what is called ‘empirical’ knowledge; information gathered through trail, error and experimentation by hundreds if not thousands of motorcycle builders for the past ninety years. In many cases historically, an assembly that ‘looked good’ from an engineering standpoint simply didn’t stand up well in actual use so if anything most cycle frames and components are significantly ‘over-built’ today.

Since the author and the publisher cannot control, supervise, observe, assist or insure the quality of the materials or the quality or standard of the work being used in the development of the readers particular project or bike modification we cannot accept any liability for the results of using the information contained herein or on the Web Site.

For this reason readers are advised that use of said information is done so at their entire risk.

All information contained in this manual and on the Web Site is presumed to be accurate as of the date of publication. Wherever possible we have verified information but we assume no responsibility for errors of fact or omissions.
