Arlen Ness, the "Godfather" of custom motorcycles started his career by painting his and his friend's bikes in the late 1960s. As his paint designs became wilder, he started creating custom bikes to showcase his paint schemes and it evolved from there. As the popularity of "Choppers" and custom bikes increase in the early 70s, Arlen Ness became the standard by which all custom bikes and builders are judged. Today, Arlen Ness creations have attained "Art Form" status and are prized by collectors and featured in museums worldwide. In addition to building the baddest bikes on the road, Arlen runs Arlen Ness Enterprises, manufacturers of custom bikes, parts and accessories. He can be found in his shop everyday, grinning at the sound of his latest creation. Our detail die-cast models offer working chains and steering, with articulated suspensions and a kickstand for display. Perfect for the collector.
