    I was thinking maybe a hand throttle that looks like a roll of Morgan dollars.
    Chrome rims that look like 1804 proof bust dollars.
    Side mirrors look like 10X loupes.

    Decals on the tank are giant big green beans!

    Yes, but a "+" has to be somewhere on the bike also.

    The speedometer could have the 0 to 70 MPH as the grading scale.

    I doubt you'll ever see "green beans" on a PCGS chopper.image
    A UHR Saint would look good though.

    After it was completed I think they should leave it out back under a moldy canvas tarp for 100 years til it was nicely toned.

    If it didn't turn out well they could dip it and start all over..............

    That chopper would look awesome in the eyes of collectors, but everybody else probably wouldn't appreciate the designs.

    I would agree with that.

    I happen to live right around the corner from Orange County Chopper so I know the family well.

    Wei..Making weird niche theme bikes is what OCC does. They made a super cool Caddyshack bike that was auctioned off and of course Bill Murry bought it.

    It would be 90% silver framed with accents of pure gold! Rims would need to
    be Platinum to withstand the weight and beating they would take.

    May weigh a bit.

    $10 Gold Indian on the gas tank.

    It would be in a big plastic box and you couldnt ride it, sit on it, wash it or even touch iit.
