They made one for my work a few years back based on the Gillette Fusion Power.Ugly as sin and so dam long its hard to make turns. It was raffled off for charity.

Got to meet them at the unveiling and they kinda came across as pricks.

I've watched since the begining, I have to agree the shows gone down hill. I think they (especially Sr) got "big company, big money" minded and forgot their roots.

Commenting on there bikes...besides the custom bikes you see that they do for corp America (the dudes with the real $$$) their bikes really aren't that nice...most all of there parts are from out of the box retailer specialty firms like Custom Chrome and Drag Specialties which MASS produce parts and 99% of them are made in China with inferior chrome jobs (very thin) and crappy welds...oh yeah, and use RevTech engines (Made in China)...Should be called "Not so American Chopper"... So joe blow regular consumer pays $45K++++ for a bike which he could have built himself for $15k tops. Paul Sr is nice though...met him at a dealer convention here a little over a month ago.
