Twisted Choppers’ Shovelheaded Kill Machine is built around a deliberately low, 
stretched profile and a strong contrast between polished metal, deep black wheels
and an orange-painted frame. The source identifies it as a Biker Build Off-winning
motorcycle, while the supplied material offers no further competition details or
technical specification sheet.

## Long, low and unmistakably custom

The motorcycle’s proportions do most of the talking. A compact solo seat sits close
to the rear wheel, while the long front end pushes a large five-spoke wheel well
ahead of the engine. That arrangement gives the bike a dramatic rake and makes the
front tyre a major part of its visual identity rather than a supporting detail.

Bright orange tubing outlines the chassis and continues into the rear section, creating
a clear structural frame around the engine and drivetrain. The metallic gold tank
follows the same custom-painted direction, but its smoother finish contrasts with
the darker, more mechanical surfaces below.

## Mechanical detail left on display

There is little attempt to hide the powertrain. The finned V-twin, polished covers
and exposed intake occupy the centre of the motorcycle, with heat-wrapped exhaust
headers adding a rougher texture beneath the chrome and paint. The narrow tank leaves
much of the upper engine visible, so the bike reads as an assembled mechanical object
rather than a fully enclosed design.

At the front, the exposed spring and fork arrangement reinforces the old-school 
chopper vocabulary, while the broad black wheel and modern-looking tyre give the
nose a heavier, more contemporary stance. The rear wheel uses a matching dark finish,
helping the two ends of the motorcycle feel visually connected despite the extended
front geometry.

## A finish built around contrast

Small details keep the colour scheme from becoming one-note. The seat appears to
use brown leather with visible upholstery work, and the rear section combines orange
structure with darker bodywork and metal hardware. Together, those choices give 
the build a distinctly show-oriented presence without relying on graphics or excessive
body panels.

The available source names the motorcycle and its builder but does not document 
engine displacement, chassis dimensions, component brands, performance or current
status. For the original listing and supplied image, see [Twisted Choppers’ source image](https://custommotorcycles.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/TWISTED-CHOPPERS.jpg).
