Check out the pics on Orange County Choppers website. They call it the "Cat
Bike". Looks like an S&S or some othe varient of the HD twin.

I work for a Cat subsidiery. They brought the Cat bike around to our
plant a while ago. I didn't see it but they had photos of it posted.
That doesn't look like the same bike. Maybe they made another. How
embarassing.

They had the OCC Vista bike on campus for a while.
Someone bought it in the charity auction.
I have yet to see someone riding it around.

They should make a Cat twin diesel for bikes.

Looks like a TP engineering, or some other harley clone. Might be an
S&S lower end with custom jugs. Who knows?

BTW- rumor mill has the Cat bike on OCC's show topping out around 2
million- that's for the show which is basicly a several hour long
commercial. I think the Cat dealers had to pay $10k to get the bike to
their gigs for a few days. It was ugly.

I agree. Anything with bolt-on plastic fake cooling fins *cannot* be
cool.

That's cool!

It is... I like the visible "works" such as the kickstart gears.

Pull the fenders and covers off any Indian from the 40's and you have
what you see in that pic...for the most part.

That whole bike is a bobber repop of 40's indians. The motor is a drop
dead replica of an original Indian flat head. They do sweet work.

Thanks for the clue -- there's some real lookers on their For-Sale page,
such as this one:
