Long before legends like Indian Larry and Jesse appeared on television, L&L Choppers were admirers of both their work and their lifestyles. Not only did they hold Indian Larry's infusion of Old School style with modern technology in high regard but his life story and personality as well. Jesse James got their respect for his reintroduction of the classic chopper high-neck frame style and for the skills he used making them. Television appearances featuring both their work and personalities brought a heightened interest in custom bikes in general, but not everyone has the talent, money or time to build a bike like theirs.

L&L Choppers, home-based in The Netherlands, decided to try and fill that void by creating a low-budget Sportster-based bikt called the attacKIT, which offers and Old School look while being builder-friendly. This consists of installing the engine, wheels, gas tank, brakes and even the belt drive from a used EVO Sporty onto attacKIT's hardtail frame (which includes a choice of three oil tanks) and presto! You've got the makings of a cool bike at a reasonable price. You have to do some grinding and welding and make your own seat along with the actual assembly, but you did want to build your own custom, didn't you? L&L Choppers has called your bluff with a bike kit that someone with reasonable mechanical skills can build and ride before they grow too disinterested to finish the project. A great first custom or something to continually modify, it's up to you.

L&L Choppers offers not only building advice but has additional parts such as a choice of forks, handlebars, exhausts and seats to personalize your attacKIT even more. Kit car companies have been successfully providing this same type of build-up for years, why not motorcycles?
