Editor's Note: We met Deep South through Andy Meadors, the former Marketing genius, with Big Bear Choppers. He seemed excited about this new company, so we're following his lead. Check 'em out: Deep South Choppers, (DSC) is established as a nationally marketed American v-twin custom motorcycle shop, and now entering in the custom production micro-manufacturing segment with their proprietary line of built-to-order limited production motorcycles, dubbed the SHOCKERS. DSC, based in Baton Rouge (LA), is a turn-key facility, providing hand made quality motorcycles, and selling retail direct to the public. Every motorcycle is carefully fabricated and assembled in-house using America’s finest parts suppliers and brands with experienced, passionate technicians.
Done with the expensive, long wheel base and fat rear tire craze, Deep South Choppers is going back to the roots of American V-Twin customizing as it was right after WWII, and re-building the modern American custom production V-Twin motorcycle. Stripped down; bobbed rear fender, small 'peanut' styled fuel tank, absent front fender, solo seat, straight pipes, and anything to make the bike more responsive and faster for the pure enjoyment of what motorcycles should be – all at under $20k.
Introducing the SHOCKER series – limited production, tailored built production motorcycles with Hot Rod styling and performance at an affordable price tag. Understanding that customer’s demands in motorcycles increase throughout these tech savvy years, DSC has designed a motorcycle that perfectly blends style, comfort, performance, and price into the SHOCKER Series with all quality American made parts. In essence, the pair of motorcycles has racing inspired engineering with an old school attitude.
The $19,899 Low Voltage design has the fuel tank sitting low on the frame with drag style bars, creating a sleek profile for an aggressive look and feel. The $19,999 High Voltage has its fuel tank sitting on top of the frame with riser bars, producing a more relaxed chopper style.
RELIABILITY. With the help of Harley-Davidson’s smooth running EVO and a tough Baker 5-speed transmission as standard equipment in these new Deep South Choppers proprietary production bikes, the SHOCKER Series motorcycles use all American made components for optimum reliability.
PERFORMANCE. Carrera racing shocks makes the ride not only comfortable, but drives this bike to the lead of the pack in its competing market segment with its high performance edge. The 16” diameter wheels, 4-piston caliper brakes, performance Dunlop® tires and a conservative wheelbase - the ergonomics are a blast within the city walls and absolutely stable on the open highways.
QUALITY. The proprietary DSC chassis was designed, engineered, and tested with strict analysis before production. The chassis is fabricated and assembled all under the same roof – making Deep South Choppers a powerful, turn-key facility. From concept to completion, DSC is vertically integrated with deep capabilities as a custom and production manufacturer, hand crafting each motorcycle with high-level quality control.
