DAMN, I like being looked at!!! But trust me I wouldn't pay no where near what some of the BIG name chopper builders want for their bikes... OCC is now bankrupt because they can't sell their THEME bikes. There are only a few chopper builders still around that was BIG 10 years ago. The BIG name chopper craze is on it's way out, I think the RUBS have figured out they can buy a BETTER bike and RIDE it for around 20K NEW.

Yeah, you're right Chuck, the mega-dollar Choppers never interested me, but I think the GFC killed the industry. I read how Big Bear Choppers were building 100 bikes per month in 2007, and by 2009 they were building less than 100 per year.
I always laugh at just how much money some people are prepared to pay for a custom bike, most of the Chopper "Builders" were just assembling aftermarket engines into aftermarket rolling chassis and giving them a basic paint job, and charging the "Rubes" $50K or more (much more, in the case of OCC's "Theme Bikes") for $20K worth of parts and paint.
Nice work if you can get it.............. Oh, and Scott, I don't know Kayjohn either, but by keeping this thread fresh, with luck, someone who does will see it and be able to help you out, so don't be too upset.
