Source: Bring a Trailer –

This custom chopper was built by Orange County Choppers (OCC) of Montgomery, New York, for a December 2009 episode of the American Chopper reality TV show, in which OCC was commissioned by the Liquid Wick pool cue company to assemble the bike. It is finished in black with off-white and red accents and features a spider web motif on the seat, fenders, brake rotors, rear pulley, and billet alloy wheels as well as various mounting brackets and gussets located on the hardtail frame and V-shaped handlebar. Power is provided by an S&S Cycle 100ci Evolution-style V-twin equipped with a Super G carburetor and a chrome two-into-one SuperTrapp exhaust system with a backpressure-tunable muffler, and additional equipment includes a BAKER six-speed transmission, a belt final drive, an extended telescopic fork, half-moon footboards, billet forward foot controls and mirrors, and a side stand. This OCC chopper is now offered by the seller on behalf of its owner with a clean New Mexico title in the owner’s name that lists it as a 2010 model.

The bike is finished in black with 0ff-white fuel tank side panels, “Black Widow” graphics, and red accents on both fenders, the rear of which features a black widow spider centered atop the welded three-dimensional webbing. The front-hinged web-shaped seat is equipped with a Fox mini monoshock that attaches to a webbed frame mount, and additional features include a chrome headlight bucket, forward foot controls, OCC-branded half-moon footboards, an offset license plate bracket, and a side stand. The top of the fuel tank and one end of the oil tank were repainted under current ownership to remove a celebrity likeness and name. Close-up photos showing a scuff on the back of the right-side mirror and wrinkles in the chrome of the rear exhaust heat shield can be viewed in the gallery.

Web-style wheels are finished in black with red pinstripes and spider silhouettes and are mounted with Metzler ME880 Marathon tires measuring 120/70-21″ up front and 300/85-18″ at the rear. The bike’s sole suspension consists of an extended telescopic fork. Braking is provided by single web-motif drilled discs with chrome calipers at both ends.

The V-type handlebar is equipped with dual billet mirrors and finished in black with web-style gussets, one of which supports an AutoMeter Pro-Cycle 120-mph speedometer with an inset digital odometer that indicates 39 miles ridden since completion of the build. An AutoMeter Auto Gage oil-pressure gauge is mounted on the engine.

The S&S Cycle 100ci Evolution-style V-twin breathes through a Super G carburetor and a chrome SuperTrapp two-into-one exhaust system with a tunable diffuser disc muffler. The OCC logo and a spider-in-web design adorn the chrome derby cover, while a three-dimensional spider embellishes the chrome timing cover. Service in preparation for the sale included replacing the battery and oil lines in addition to changing the oil.

Power is sent to the rear wheel through a BAKER six-speed gearbox with a Liquid Wick pool-cue-inspired shift lever linkage as well as a right-side drive belt with a web-motif rear pulley.

The bike was featured in season 6, episode 20 of the Discovery Channel’s American Chopper reality TV series with OCC’s Paul Teutul and company building the bike at the behest of the Liquid Wick pool cue company.
The New Mexico title is listed as a duplicate.
