MANUFACTURING

The backbone of what makes us unique and powerful is the fact that we manufacture every bit of the frame, tanks and fenders, bars and front-ends, foot controls and other proprietary components - all for the purpose of producing an absolute American Made, high quality motorcycles. Each Big Bear Chopper is a tried and true, intelligently engineered motorcycle that will be an enduring vehicle for thousands and thousands of miles.

Our manufacturing philosophy is to produce the most well rounded motorcycle possible with no compromises between form (design) and function (reliability and ergonomics). We use American made raw metal materials and use American made machinery and American made tools. Again, we will not compromise quality for profits, and will never take the essence of American Made out of the motorcycle.

We continually improve through the use of Lean Manufacturing, which is the production of goods using less of everything compared to traditional mass production: less waste, human effort, manufacturing space, investment in tools, inventory, and engineering time to develop a new product. Lean manufacturing is a product and process management philosophy derived primarily from Toyota Production System. It is renowned for its focus on reduction of the original Toyota ‘seven wastes’ in order to improve overall customer value.
