The next thing you will see them on QVC or some late night Info-merce selling bobble head dolls on miniture bikes. This yuppie bike craze has got to kill the old hard-core guys (1%ers).

They are hacks - I have two friends that had their bikes, both POS's - electrical issues up the azz, S&S / RevTech motors - nothing original. They are just assemblers just starting to move some stuff in-house. And West Coast Choppers thrust custom bikes into the "public eye", these guys just came along and merchandised (pimped) the crap out of themselves and their theme bikes. Interesting to look at and all, but not a bike to buy if you want to (really) ride and know you're going to make it home.
Just my .02

DTM...I had two small electrical issues....I've got two thousand miles
on my bike now and don't hesitate to take it anywhere.
They do make some inexpensive models. Maybe thats what your friends
had. Don't get me wrong, I have seen some of there bikes I wouldn't
touch. I have a 121 cu in TP motor, Accutronics, Hawg Halters etc.
I just like it and really don't care if other people do.
Again..I got it before all the hoopla. I own it and am glad that if I do
sell, someone could finance if they had to. You can't on a lot of these
customs.
