Not sure how un-serious they truly are but they have acknowledged timeline setbacks, and not by them, so I'd expect as things get back on schedule you will see more.
When Paul doesn't have to answer to the suits this happens. He made a lot of money, the suits made a lot more and pushed them to manufacture the drama to make it so.
What an absolute delight to watch a true master at work. I’ll be honest and say that I was rooting for the other guys to begin with; but seeing you just picturing stuff in your head and making it all work together is a masterclass in bike building. 👍
Hey Dude! You are the only one giving updates on the bike build off. The other two competitors are not giving updates on the build off. I believe they bit off more than they can chew dealing with a professional like you Paul. Like I said awhile back, as said in Texas, you are going to show them how the cow eats cabbage (show them how things really work) lol.
Their channels are kinda large, they probably have pre-filmed content on a release schedule to please the algorithm. No reason not to release those videos, even if they're currently working on the build videos.
You can tell that you have been doing this for a long time. It’s an art crafting a project bike to look as good as you do. Keep up the good work!!!. You got the win!
Good job Senior ! The bike is taking shape, thanks for taking us along with you on the build. This bike is really helping your image with the people. If Cher can make a comeback I think you can too lol
I love Sean and Craig but Paul is the only one doing a build. Kinda what you expect though being he’s the only builder in the build off lol. Looking forward to seeing the finale of this thing.
I give props to Senior. He was obviously the driving force behind Orange County Choppers. And the TV show. That’s impressive and I will always think highly of him as a business man. As far as a guy that can fabricate……well he’s…….not good. I can point to dozens of UA-cam channels that have fabricators in a different league than him. That’s just the truth. But he still gets props from me.
@ yea but they didn’t do much as far as showing progress unless I missed them somehow. Saw the dyno on Craig’s bike and Sean riding the burnt bike but never saw anything after that a few weeks ago
Liking The Change's On The Front It's Starting To Come Together Nicely Paul Can't Wait To See It After Painting Good Luck With It All Coming Together With No To Little Problems. Blessings And Please Be Safe ✌️
I can already tell Paul's bike is gonna be the coolest... I'm a Metric guy and I'd love to have it. The V- ROD will be fastest, but it's a VRod. I'm curious to see how Triumph is gonna turn out.
Honestly, I was a fan of Sean and Craig's UA-cam channel before yours, but I'm pretty annoyed how little they're posting about this series and you're doing so much more! I'm here to support your channel for the attention you're giving to this build off!
"Its been a long week, im not going to be very cheerful today" is going to be my new slogan when i walk in anywhete in not a great mood. Love the bike so far Paul! Nice work long time fan from back in the day, im still finding pics from then always wearing occ hats and shirts 🤙
@@birddogz545 Hopefully it makes for entertaining content once they catch up though 🤞🏻 It's already great to see Senior back in the groove. Classic entertainment!
The beard never turned wrench in his life...he may be starting with tinkertoys then following with an erector setband top it off with a hot wheels track for a little aerodynamics before he gets started on a bike build.
Love you Paul! Hope your channel will be great! Been watching your show on Discovery since day 1 as a kid! Thank you for entertaining! Happy holidays everyone!
The tank....that looks so RIGHT. Traditional Sportster shape, but a bit longer, blending in with the seat. Going to look a lot better with the front end cleaned up. I'd still go with a smaller headlight than the stock light shell. Definitely keep the fork shrouds. Interested to see how you manage all the junk under the seat and that wiring loom. When I was tidying up my Sportster, the wiring under there was the biggest challenge. Serves me right for getting a 2008 with the ECU under there....
I think it looks good without the sissy bar, the back of the seat needs to be raised a little with spacers. I think gun metal grey would look good with all that chrome or a candy paintjob on the tank and fenders. I wonder if you could mount the head light higher to give it a raked look. You look good Paul. It is nice to see you in the shop.
Love the motor and the pipes. Not so sure about that back fender Sr., ...i know you know what your doin, so im lookin forward to seeing the end result.....craigs got a cool ass bike too man, gonna be close....
These videos I think are some of my favourite content from yourself. I can see myself being able to afford that bike and do what you guys are doing now. Cheers for the updates.
Looking good sir. It's nice that you are giving us updates. More than I can say for the other two. Of course one of them has a lot more motorcycle knowledge and knowhow and I have the utmost respect for both of them. Oh. I see only you and your friend working on your bike. Anyway. Good luck. I think you got this one in the bag.
Paul Sr. I'm really liking your build. Thank you for your updates. I'm looking forward to seeing what Craig has in store for us with the V-Rod and not just upping the power output.
It's nice to see Paul out of his 'Comfort Zone' with the metric Harley.. That said He is the OG and will pull this off too.. They only have a limited Budget and I'm sure Paul would do things a little more wild and get into the frame deeper if he could.. It will be a Good Looking bike when he is done.. 👍
I just started watching and I'm really enjoying the episodes, Paul Snr knows his stuff and being very chilled and informative. keep flexin those pythons bro, Snr, your an ole school legend
Hey Paul ...u see that thing with a rag stuffed in it between the cylinders....that's called a carburetor 😂. This bike is not fuel injected. That's just a fuel level sensor in the tank
@@5tevenH you may be correct...I can't remember what year they switched to fuel injection. BUT, this is not a fuel injected bike, the carb is easily visible in the video and the fuel tank has nothing but a fuel level sensor on the bottom.
Good to finally see some progress. I was concerned this project might fizzle out. I have seen more on your channel than the other 2. Kinda makes me want to try making one. I know I have always wanted to build my own custom bobber. I have a ton of other stuff to get done so I will have to wait until 2026 but I think I may try to do one.
Nice seeing you doing what you love bro... The last time i saw you guys was at Ranch Hand in Brooksville, I'm stoked that you're building bike again Paul.
I like the direction you are going , it looks good. For after market parts that may help you Senior check out Blue Collar Bobber, they make kits for metric bikes and have very nice lights and seats. I used their kit to turn a 2005 Kawasaki Vulcan into a bobber. I get more complements on the bobber than my state of the art 2020 Triumph Rocket 3R.
I started messing around with metric bikes before I moved to Harleys. It's fun to see you working on this bike and seeing what ideas you come up with . 👍
On my Yamaha Royal Star, nearly the same bike, the fuel pump is in the triangular area under the seat. If you can't get the pump in the tank, try there.
Nice update! Love the fact you’re actually fabricating new parts for the bike. I like the other 2 but there’s no updates and they both seem to be just painted or buying off the shelf parts and that’s not custom built. Keep up the good work and can’t wait to see it finished
Why TF is Paul Sr. The only one updating us on the builds? Mad respect for you, to take the challenge serious.
Because hes the GOAT
hes gonna clean the floor with them
Not sure how un-serious they truly are but they have acknowledged timeline setbacks, and not by them, so I'd expect as things get back on schedule you will see more.
Sean literally bought a brand new Triumph to fix his burned Triumph. Dude is worthless other than a wallet.
Craig has uploaded just as many vids as Sr has about the build.
This is so good without any manufactured drama. Really happy to be watching.
When Paul doesn't have to answer to the suits this happens. He made a lot of money, the suits made a lot more and pushed them to manufacture the drama to make it so.
Been watching O.C.C since it started and seeing Paul sr. Still doing things the old way makes me smile. Never change Paul.
What an absolute delight to watch a true master at work. I’ll be honest and say that I was rooting for the other guys to begin with; but seeing you just picturing stuff in your head and making it all work together is a masterclass in bike building. 👍
Paul Sr's bike is going to win. I like it.
Hey Dude! You are the only one giving updates on the bike build off. The other two competitors are not giving updates on the build off. I believe they bit off more than they can chew dealing with a professional like you Paul. Like I said awhile back, as said in Texas, you are going to show them how the cow eats cabbage (show them how things really work) lol.
They are all professionals and maybe they are just simply waiting to give updates. Lots of speculation lol
Their channels are kinda large, they probably have pre-filmed content on a release schedule to please the algorithm. No reason not to release those videos, even if they're currently working on the build videos.
Yeah wtf!? Whete are the other guys at with their builds???
Sr should win hands down anyways
They blame Paul 😂
You can tell that you have been doing this for a long time. It’s an art crafting a project bike to look as good as you do. Keep up the good work!!!. You got the win!
Good job Senior ! The bike is taking shape, thanks for taking us along with you on the build. This bike is really helping your image with the people. If Cher can make a comeback I think you can too lol
Only dude actually working on this build off 💪🏽
I love Sean and Craig but Paul is the only one doing a build. Kinda what you expect though being he’s the only builder in the build off lol. Looking forward to seeing the finale of this thing.
Paul has this one in the bag.
They said he was behind and they are already done waiting for him to get done so they been sitting on there videos for it
I give props to Senior. He was obviously the driving force behind Orange County Choppers. And the TV show. That’s impressive and I will always think highly of him as a business man.

I love it! You going back to the old school ways of building choppers I love the old school choppers. They always look better to me than the new stuff
such excellent lighting in your shop. ✔
I've been riding an 05 Road Star for 10 yrs. Great bike and a great platform for a build.
That bike is sharp! I'm diggin it🤘. Gonna be really hard to beat !

Thanks you a update grew up watching you good to see you’re still out in the shop some
Glad to finally see a update from anyone. Wish we could get some longer videos!
For whatever it's worth I'm digging your own videos way more than the major network stuff
Looking sweet, nice lines! 😊
Really like where you are going with this build. Cleaned up front end definitely made it sleeker and flow better.
For some reason I really like watching this build!!
I'm thinking its because Paul Sr. is OG gangster
Man you look good hopefully I look like that when I'm your age. Keep up the great work..
Top man!
I can already tell Paul's bike is gonna be the coolest... I'm a Metric guy and I'd love to have it.
The V- ROD will be fastest, but it's a VRod. I'm curious to see how Triumph is gonna turn out.
Senior keep grindin! You’re are a inspiration brother

Hire others to make you look good is pretty common
If you've been watching Craig has as many vids as Sr does.
And Shawn said that Sr asked for more time.
I’m digging it
"Its been a long week, im not going to be very cheerful today" is going to be my new slogan when i walk in anywhete in not a great mood.
Love the bike so far Paul! Nice work long time fan from back in the day, im still finding pics from then always wearing occ hats and shirts 🤙
Love the "safety squint" when you're tack welding 😂
75 years old and he still has a set of guns that put most dudes to shame. And he is putting in the work on this build, gotta give Paul some respect.
It actually looks WAY better with the first tank you chose
Thanks for the update, would like to see more!
The other two guys seem to have given up 😮
It's looking good. I haven't seen anything new from Sean or Craig.
I haven't seen an update video from either of the Beards in a while. As far as I can see, you're winning Paul Sr 🎉
They are in way over their heads.
@@birddogz545 Hopefully it makes for entertaining content once they catch up though 🤞🏻
It's already great to see Senior back in the groove. Classic entertainment!
This channel does more updates. The other channels like to cut the fat out. I prefer the fat.
I believe the other two guys are hiding somewhere 😂
The beard never turned wrench in his life...he may be starting with tinkertoys then following with an erector setband top it off with a hot wheels track for a little aerodynamics before he gets started on a bike build.
Man it makes me happy your posting this on UA-cam. What a joy it is seeing you build bikes again. Occ was a show I loved as a teen.
Looking really great with that fender and tank. And the front too with only headlamp installed.
Looking good
Looking good!
Love you Paul! Hope your channel will be great! Been watching your show on Discovery since day 1 as a kid! Thank you for entertaining! Happy holidays everyone!
i reckon a bigger seat with springs to cover that box. its taking shape. hell yeah

Good to see him still working. I hope he does till the end .
Looking good SR. Smile a little it's not that bad!! Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
These videos I think are some of my favourite content from yourself. I can see myself being able to afford that bike and do what you guys are doing now.
Cheers for the updates.
I want it, I want to buy it, it already looks so good, and I'm not a chopper guy
This is basically new OCC content! I LOVE it! So good to see you again Paul!
facts
Lookin good, like the motor on that bike.
Paul.. the fuel pump is on the left side under that chrome cover between the heads..
Looking good sir. It's nice that you are giving us updates. More than I can say for the other two.

Dang it almost looks just like the bike I built 2 years ago, only I put a street glide tank on mine cause I like the really big tanks
Looks sweet so far. Im want to build a bike so bad but there is minimal stuff near me....and I'm afraid to crack an egg lol
Paul it's great to see you still building man! Thank you for sharing and God bless brother!
its a Japanese harley, and 4 episodes in, we are tak welding an off the shelf fender that u can buy on ebay
Paul Sr. I'm really liking your build. Thank you for your updates. I'm looking forward to seeing what Craig has in store for us with the V-Rod and not just upping the power output.
Senior, you may need to see if a wider tire can fit in the frame to give it more symmetry. Keep it going.
Looking forward to seeing it finished nice job Pail Sr
It's nice to see Paul out of his 'Comfort Zone' with the metric Harley.. That said He is the OG and will pull this off too..

You sir didn't lose your touch, I use to watch you on Discovery when I was in highschool.
You are a real artist ! 👏
From New Zealand. Watched OCC on tv here. Didn't know, that you were on UA-cam. Great to see. Love the bikes.
Looks good Senior! 👍👍
I just started watching and I'm really enjoying the episodes, Paul Snr knows his stuff and being very chilled and informative. keep flexin those pythons bro, Snr, your an ole school legend
Looks good man...peace ...
I'm truly enjoying your videos. Looking forward to the next one!!
Looks Great!
Hey Paul ...u see that thing with a rag stuffed in it between the cylinders....that's called a carburetor 😂. This bike is not fuel injected. That's just a fuel level sensor in the tank
I was just scrolling the comments for this exact one before I posted 😂😂
A 2007 Yamaha xv1700 is Fi 😅
@@5tevenH you may be correct...I can't remember what year they switched to fuel injection. BUT, this is not a fuel injected bike, the carb is easily visible in the video and the fuel tank has nothing but a fuel level sensor on the bottom.
@greenturbo1047 that's the airbox that the rag is hanging out of 😆 🤣 😂
Deffo Fi
@5tevenH dude u better do some research...the airbox is not even on the bike in this vedeo...that's a carb
Nice Paul! I think you will easily win!
Your're going to win for sure!
I’m really glad your doing this build for us, Paul. I have always wanted to build a bobber out of a V-Star, and yours is looking awesome!
I watched american chopper more than cartoons! Pauls got this in the bag.
Looking good! Maybe smaller headlight and bigger seat. Appreciate you taking us along for the build
It's looking badass. I can see the concept of it all coming together...
Slow and stedy comming along. Greatings from Latvia.
Good to finally see some progress. I was concerned this project might fizzle out. I have seen more on your channel than the other 2. Kinda makes me want to try making one.

Thanks for doing this. Love the I idea of this"build off". So far very cool.
Your bike will be a lot nicer than the boys. You picked a good one to start with.
He got that roadstar for a steal.
Following with big interest Paul, looking forward to seeing your art come to completion..... Peace from New Zealand :)
Awesome! You r still the one buddy!
That looks pretty good Paul. It’ll be hard to beat when she’s done.
Looking real nice. Love the rear fender and the way the tank and seat come together.
I like the direction you are going. It's gonna be sweet!
I started messing around with metric bikes before I moved to Harleys. It's fun to see you working on this bike and seeing what ideas you come up with . 👍
Pearl white would look good on that bike!!

Looks good Sr. It flows nice 😎
Welding with no helmet or goggles 😮 i made some stuff last weekend and my inner arms are still sunburnt
Enjoying your progress !!!
Cheers from Australia 😆
I can appreciate Paul sr taking this serious. And obviously trying to create something custom from a basic metric bike.
That tank and the set make it look really nice
It's going to be a great bike ! Happy New Year from Potown!
