    I've seen a few, but not as many as there would be in the States! Sure we don't have the roads for them anyway.

    You would do very very well to get a business like this off the ground with the current economic climate.:(

    there are a few of these guys around, there are several irish that are regulars in the world circuit of custom bike builds...
    I do think its something most who are handy with a spanner would have taught of at some stage but the costs are very prohibitive...mostly due to american chopper as quite a lot of business me in america watched that show then sold their sunday drive porsche/ferrari's and bought themselves 40K+ custom choppers...

    I looked in building something very recently and unless you are going to go down the route of converting a shadow etc, the cost will be close to an MV Agusta and for the money i would much rather but that...

    I think it's more popular here to build fighters and cafe racers etc as opposed to choppers.

    Here's two from the top of my head:

    Old Skool Motorcycles in Bray.

    C&C Choppers in Cork

    So yes, there is a business for this kind of work ;)
