I agree on the custom chopper gimmick. But I dont see how innovation and free thinking fits into their mold of tacking on other peoples parts to choppers fits in.

Well, they typically use a Harley clone motor... as far as bolting on another manufacturer's parts onto a chassis and calling it their own... May I present the 1125R/CR.... j/k I merely meant that they (OCC) tends to do thinks somewhat differently and so does Buell. You have to remember that Paul Sr has been in this chopper thing WAY before most of the other guys and he and Jr are basically responsible for quite a few of the "innovations" that are now standard chopper fare.
