Description
OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE
Southern Motorcycle Works (SMW) was established during the 2000s custom‑chopper boom, about the time televised bike builds pushed custom motorcycles into the mainstream. The Ardmore, Oklahoma, boutique manufacturer positioned the Chop King Deluxe as a factory custom rather than a one‑off show bike, still allowing the freedom of a unique creation without the expense of a total custom.
On their own chromoly single downtube frame SMW added first-class hardware: a 127ci Ultima V-Twin engine rated at 135 hp and 140 lb-ft torque, an S&S Super G series “Shorty” carburetor, a polished 6-speed manual transmission, and a 3” final from Belt Drives LTD (see the documentation attached under "Additional documentation" for more details). This would have been a bike with exceptional speed and style. Unfortunately, it was never fully finished—creating the opportunity for someone to complete it their way.
This SMW Chop King Deluxe Project is now represented at no reserve by a Broad Arrow Specialist and sold on Bill of Sale only.
