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.

Wow, I wonder what my SS would look like with a chrome springer, a pitchfork sissy bar and the Iron Cross for a tail light? Oh.. never mind.

Good, maybe the prices will drop and I can get one for less. Hopefully Termignoni exhausts have jumped along with Ducati and they will be cheap too.
