Mondo Porras, owner of Denver’s Choppers, started building custom bikes with his partner Denver Mullins in San Bernardino, CA in 1967. Denver’s Choppers was instrumental in starting the after market industry that is flourishing today with custom parts including; frames, custom choppers and especially our custom springer front ends. Denver’s Choppers started manufacturing parts for their own custom motorcycles and designing the stretch bikes which are in vogue today. Denver’s Choppers was the first company to manufacture the long down tube stretch frames, or the Swedish style as they became known, which was actually Denver’s style (there’s even a motorcycle club in Sweden called Denver’s Choppers, so named after the long stretch bikes.)
Denver’s Choppers became famous worldwide in the early 1970’s, and their parts have been used by world renowned bike builders over the last three decades. Denver’s Choppers has been and will continue to be one of the leading trend setters in the industry.
Mondo has been featured in numerous motorcycle publications world wide as well as hardcover books. He's appeared on the Discovery Channel Biker Build Off, and Blood Sweat and Gears. Mondo has been dubbed as "THE GODFATHER OF CHOPPERS" by his peers. |
