This beautiful beast is the firstborn among its brothers that launched the Big Bear Choppers brand of motorcycles in 2002. This ambitious motorcycle is built around the 250mm wide tire with a rigid appearance. If you’re in the market for a tough, traditional all American modernistic chopper with today’s technology, look no further. The spider web theme throughout the Reaper adds to the rebellious demeanor of it’s presence. This chopper handles remarkably well due to our extensive R&D. Our frame and frontend calculations are ‘to the tee’ with the final trail measurement, resulting in no frontend flop or high speed wobble. With the Reaper’s lower than standard seat height and pullback handlebars, this mad mechanical pony can be tamed by riders ranging from 5 foot 6 to 6 foot 3 with easy success. Standard components include the proprietary low vibration 100 SMOOTH™ polished engine in front of a Baker 6-speed overdrive transMision, exclusive primary drive, chrome frontend and controls, and it keeps going. The Reaper… it’s an all American rebel machine.
Be as powerful as you can be.

Overview Reliability, power and comfort... the best of all worlds. And when we say reliability, we not only mean the life of the engine, but the life of motorcycle and everything that's bolted to it. Branded as '100 SMOOTH™,' this internally reformed 100 cubic inch engine boasts a healthy 112 lbs. of torque at the crank. With a square configuration of a 4.00” bore and 4.00” stroke, proprietary compression ratios, redesigned cam timing, and reciprocating weights all result in an incredibly smooth running engine while meeting all the strict legal requirements. While looking like any other S&S Super Sidewinder engine from the outside, the essence of this new engine is the low vibration. High engine vibration is an enemy to both the rider and the motorcycle. The effects of high engine vibration may cause premature rider fatigue as well. Eliminate engine vibration and you will eliminate potential problems.

DRIVETRAIN BRAND & SPECS
Primary Drive BBC Enclosed Wet Chain
Finish Polished
Final Drive Belt & Pulley System
Overview

Keeping with the mindset of making form and function coexisting, this newly designed proprietary primary is built tough and reliable along with a very sleek, new generation styled aesthetics with a cool BBC branded inspection cover. This primary drive is approximately 200% stronger than most other manufacturer’s primaries with its machined forged aluminum inner and outer cases. The dense aluminum material makes for a unit that does not flex under heavy torque, and absorbs most engine vibration. Another great attribute that sets this primary drive ahead of the curve is the triple seal design on the main shaft, as opposed to an industry standard single seal, insuring virtually no leaks. The starter motor shaft accessory plate is removable for an easy starter change-out. The internals utilize an easy-to-replace standard type clutch basket and a compensating sprocket for a smooth power transfer.

We equip the Reaper with a belt and pulley final drive for a smooth feel. The pulley is matching to the wheel design.

Overview

The Reaper frame is based on a traditional chopper design with a spider web theme. The web gusset in the neck holds a design trademark patent. And if you look close, you'll find a web pattern in the axle adjusters.

The frame is the foundation of the motorcycle's aesthetics and reliability. All our frames are designed and manufactured in house in our Big Bear Lake facility. Every frame component (e.g. neck, side plates, tank mounts, tranny plate, axle adjusters, etc) are CNC manufactured with precision. Utilizing a 0.250 wall, 1.5” tube steel for the backbone and 0.160 wall, 1.125” tube for the rest of the frame, BBC uses the best steel possible for our frames. All frames are 100% TIG welded for a clean, strong and precise fusion. We think we make a statement about our confidence with a lifetime warranty on the frames we make.

Overview

Like our frames, our tanks and fenders are designed and manufactured in-house. We produce the sheetmetal with the frame as a unit, then gets 'mock-up' before we hand it over to our painters or ship it out to the unassembled kit customers. We use heavy duty 12 gauge steel for our fenders and 14 gauge steel for the tanks. All tanks are pressure tested and the fenders are computer cut. We guarantee and warranty any leaks from the tanks and cracks in the fenders for your lifetime.

Overview

Designed and manufactured in-house, our fully chrome frontend is exclusively made for our motorcycles to be aesthetically cool and functionally bomb proof. The BBC logo branded 6° triple trees have what we call a 'smooth mount' design - you don't see the tube and axle nuts on top. And what we mean with the 'hidden axle' - it's a nutless type axle, making the finish smooth. With all our calculations with the frame and frontend, we've landed the front wheel in the sweet spot of the final trail measurement. This allows for a motorcycle with no frontend flop and high speed wobble.

And at the back, there's no better American Made shock to use than the industry's premier shock absorber, Progressive Suspension. The chrome pair of oil dampened shocks produce a good ride, which is just one more reason why our motorcycles out handle and beat the comfort of the other guys bikes.

This just adds to the custom look of this production motorcycle design.
