Boss extrude: This feature is used to expand the object in 3D according to sketch plane.
Extrude cut: Extrude cut feature used to cut/remove the 3D object in linear path according to sketch.
Fillet: Fillet is a feature used for making round internal or external edges to avoid sharp edges and make it smooth.
Lofted boss/base: Lofted boss is a feature used to achieve complex shapes. It does this by interpolating surface between various cross-section of a model. These cross-sections can be sketches, faces, or edges.

8.Engine:
An engine is some machine that converts energy from to some mechanical energy, creating motion in the process. Engines – such as the ones used to run vehicles can run on a variety of different fuels, most notably gasoline and diesel in the case of vehicles. However, there do exist some alternative fuel types such as biofuels and natural gas. In thermodynamic terms, engines are generally referred to as heat engines, which produce macroscopic motion from heat. the heat in this case comes from the combustion of fuel in the engine, which moves piston.

Gas tank:
A fuel tank (also called a petrol tank or gas tank) is a safe container for flammable fluids.

Most forks incorporate the front suspension and front brake, and allow the front wheel to rotate about the steering axis so that the bike may be steered. Most handlebars attach to the top clamp in various ways, while clip-on handlebars clamp to the fork tubes, either just above or just below the upper triple clamp. The fork and its attachment points on the frame establish the critical geometric parameters of rake and trail, which play a major role in defending how a motorcycle handles and dives during braking.

ASSEMBLY:
Part modeled are assembled with respect to each other and fixed. Chassis is the first part to be added. Every other part is fixed with respect to chassis.
MATES:
Mates’ features are used to create geometric relationship between parts to fix their position and motion with respect to each other.
RENDERING:
Rendering is the process in which photo-realistic images are created for the model designed. The environment can be set up according to the needs. Background images, camera directions, environment settings, lighting and shadows etc can be tweaked to create the best images possible.
In solid works rendering can be done using photo view 360 and solid works visualize.
CONCLUSION:
1.Parts of an American chopper are designed and modeled using.
2.Assembled the parts modeled using.
3.Photo-realistic rendering created using solid works photo view 360,and solid works visualize.
