American IronHorse was an American motorcycle manufacturer that was founded in 1995 by Tim Edmundson and Bill Rucker.[1] At one time, AIH was the largest factory producer of custom motorcycles in the USA. Their 224,000-square-foot (20,800 m2) factory was located in Fort Worth, Texas, and housed the complete manufacturing process under a single roof. Although most (305) parts for the bikes were made in-house, such as the seats and wheels, all American IronHorse motorcycles were built with S&S engines and were assembled in-house. In Spring 2008, American Ironhorse ceased production on all cycles and most company assets were liquidated at auction
I have owned a few of these great motorcycles. I started with a 2004 and than a 2005 and now ride a 2006 with the rare chrome package. Personally, I consider these Texas Choppers to be the best looking factory manfuctured motorcycles ever made. The looks are outstanding and for a long low chopper, the ride is also good. But, one must understand this is a chopper and does NOT handle anything like a basic Harley-Davidson or certainly not like a sport bike.

These are great on the highway and around town, not for long distance or super twisty mountain roads. The Texas Chopper has plenty of power with the 111ci. S&S engine. As an option, on most new bikes, they could be ordered with the S&S 117ci. or the 124ci. monster S&S V-twin engines.
Below are some basic specifications for the 2006 Texas Chopper.
