when OCC or Jr. construct a complete bike in 3 weeks and then charge $100-150k id say people are getting ripped off. its not about quality anymore, its about profits and finishing one bike so they can start another. they really dont build anything. Rick for OCC builds the tank sometimes and others help with the exhaust but the rest is just assembly as stated above.
water jets, prebuilt frames and handlebars and outside help with painting make up 90% of their bikes. ill bet JJ makes just about every part of his bike by hand using old school machines to do so. anyone can punch in a CAD onto a computer. nothing personal and creative about that.
OCC and JR. have simply taken the path of least creativity in pursuit of pushing out as many bikes as they can as fast as they can. the only bikes I care for were the bikes they did when the show first began where they actually spend months building bikes by hand. now its just lame.
