Incorporated into the design of the chopper were several golf course superintendent "tools of the trade". Many of the tools utilized in the bike are very noticeable; however, some require a more detailed eye.

The most easily identifiable is the handlebars and headlight assembly, made from a lever-eject cup cutter. The spokes in the chopper's custom wheels are Stimpmeters and the foot pegs are aerifier tines. The air cleaner is a regulation cup setting tool and lastly, the exhaust is modeled after a leaf blower discharge chute.
