I dont know....I used to like the product BB Choppers was producing. Then I read a few reports of shoddy workmanship, and poor quality control. Now this!

I am sure someone will like the way those bikes look, but it sure as hell will not be me!

I built one of their bikes a few years back and everything about their workmanship was excellent. I really enjoyed building the bike and think Big Bear products are really good.

I saw one here at the Vegas Bike week and although the construction was nice, I would call it a bagger look because the bags themselves are so small(long and thin) on the inside that you'd be lucky to fit your leather jacket in one.Not a big fan of the shape of the bags either. I'm from Big Bear where they are located and have some friends that work for them.They are very passionate about their bikes quality and workmanship,but I personally am not a big fan of the founder/owner.That being said,I give him major props for his innovation and realization of "the dream"

Btw, I forgot to mention about how long this thing is.....It's like an aircraft carrier and it's not just the front end that's stretched,it's the rear that's long. I agree about the looks of the bike....UGLY
