| There's no such thing as an OCC bike, only an OCC "assembly" based on the talents of others. You couldn't give me one of their commercialized knockoffs for free, I don't care what it looks like. If it weren't for TV that business would have failed a long time ago and that walrus would be back welding wrought iron security gates.
Speaking of those OCC posers, the other night my wife turned on one of her favorite shows, My Name is Earl. The episode involved a flashback to when he and his brother went to go steal a motorcycle. Suddenly there on TV are the OCC douche bags playing up their fake bickering shtick. She didn't even get 30 seconds into it before changing the channel and declaring "scratch that show off my list of favorites". |

Unless yer a engine builder or a mfg like HD you do not mfg everything. You use things , and try to put the best combintion of parts together. If its so easy, buy the parts and build yer own if you have the time and room.  |

| First OCC bike I can really say I like.
The others I "appreciate" but don't really like.
There's still no way I'd pay even HALF of what you guys are posting ($50k+).
I won't even bother to confirm the price...I trust you guys.  |

I don't care what you build , but if another person can buy and assymble an exact duplicate it isn't custom. and if you build a hundred then it is no longer custom but limited. and the price tag they ask ..to me.. should warrant custom fenders, tank, frame, bars, etc. I am not saying that they are not nice bikes they are name brand priced. and they feel they are running with the custom builders when actually the should consider themselves with big dog, intrepid, etc. now sportsterboys for example i would consider a custom, it is the only one made like that with his name on it |

| Not trying to start nothing, but I'm with Ironhorse - custom means "none other like it". Something significant has to be made on it that ain't like nobody else can get without copying yours, and that shouldn't be by the same assembler. OCC can do and does custom work, but this ain't it. Its a "limited edition". As such, too much money. |

| The saddlebags are shaped like mine, although mine are National Cycle. I get a lot of compliments on those.
I agree with the definition of custom. I've done a lot to my bike, but I don't consider it custom. It's all store bought. I like the way I've put it together and that it's unusual enough to get people wondering just exactly what kind of Harley it is. Sometimes I say it's a Softail Not-So-Standard, but it isn't a custom. |

| They are orange county "choppers",they take stock parts and chop them for so called theme bikes. This bagger looks like they assembled 30k of off the shelf parts and charge 50k ! |

| I agree they aren't "choppers" by any stretch of the imagination, but then again they aint being built for guys like us, now are they. |
