Are any of those OCC bikes actually rideable? With all the junk they hang on them, it just seems to me that they’d rattle apart the first 100 miles.

Depends on the build. I used to do some of the design work and manufacturing process for Midwest Motorcycle Supply’s custom chassis. This looks a lot like the 34-40 soft tail frame we sold. It made a fairly comfortable good handling bike but had less rear suspension travel than stock. Some customs are nearly unrideable.

I've often wondered that too.......Now here's a bike that really impresses me with the work that went into it. Nothing fancy, just a beautiful classic looking bike.

Transformed 1974 Norton Commando

Only if you're an orangutan.

One may custom order a bike with any accessories they wish.
