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.

Not only have Denver and Mondo developed the long bike you see today, they were also instrumental in the development of the drag boat safety capsules that are still in use by most drag boat racers. Denver and Mondo’s passion for drag boat racing, which they both competed in, came to a tragic ending when Denver was killed in 1992 in his Top Fuel Drag Boat. Mondo continues on with Denver’s Choppers in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Denver’s Choppers bikes have been featured in hundreds of magazines around the world for 37 years. Mondo was awarded, “Best Custom Fabricated Bike Builder of the Year, 2001”. He also has the great honor and distinction of having a Dave Mann Painting done of him riding the 30th anniversary chopper, which he was chosen to build for the 30th anniversary of EASYRIDERS® Magazine. “As with all stories, this one begins with an idea and that idea was to create a chopper that embodies the EASYRIDERS® image as we break the 40th year mark. Only one builder could do this with us, a man with a passion for the lifestyle and a lifelong dedication to making the best choppers on the planet.” As quoted by Dave Nichols, Editor, EASYRIDERS® June 2001.
