Vinnie and Cody Vforce Customs are currently building Diamond P Chopper a tribute bike to the Cancer community. Jb Grafixs Justin is painting the theme of this bike in a way only Justin could. Vinnie and Cody have done a great job making the Chopper a sleak piece not alot of bolt on stuff just a clean look like i asked for. The drive train being a JIMS 131 and a Baker 6 speed with Baker primary and King Kong clutch will power the beast , custom fabbed two up seat pan and custom brake rotors along with a custom Dash and bars all made in house at Vforce.

Thanks its coming along the bike would have probley been done know however there was a long process of waiting for the frame from Rolling Thunder this summer not V Force's fault they were just using the best quality Softtail based Frame Manufact, the truth is even with Rolling Thunders delay the frame was worth the wait one look at the Swing arm and you can understand why we went with this company.

I've wrote to Vinnie and Cody and they've told me that they have 3 bikes in the can and yours is the one that they are working on now. From what I've seen, they are going to be what OCC used to be. No short cuts, all class and no dysfunction like you know who. Looking forward to seeing the finished product as well as their new show that will be airing soon. You're a lucky guy Fred. You are going to have one of the coolest bikes built by a couple of very cool people. But you already know that...

Thanks for the words.
Theres no comparing Vinnie and Cody to anyone else they have there own touch to how they do a build and that said iam excited to see the bike finished.
The bike again is being built has a Tribute to the cancer community , so yes on one hand i do feel lucky but what the bike is truly for means even more to me. I think both Vinnie and Cody made there mission statement clear from the begining and that was to build top quailty bikes without the fluff we have had to indure from other shows..

I like Vinnie but you are saying they are building bikes without all the fluff-what do you mean by "all the fluff"? I looked at the pics of the bike that was built for the team in Florida and that bike in my mind had a lot of extra fluff that was uneeded on the bike and looked like a lot of window dressing. It looked like a typical theme bike built by OCC. Again,I like Vinnie but calling it like I see it. As far as the bike they are building for you,I gotta say,I sincerely hope it brings a lot of money and awareness to your charity. Oh,and I like the "fluff". To me,it is kinds like rolling art in metal. It takes a lot of talent to take a companies vision and turn it into a motorcycle. Just sayin...

You did not understand my def of Fluff sorry. Fluff is Drama and yes i know it probley sells great for TV companys like TLC but when i decided to do Diamond P i didnt want Drama....
Diamond P has very few Adds and i asked for it to be that way knowing the Paint would be the theme. The custom dash, Brake Rotors, and 2 Up seat pan and seat are something i asked for other than that the bike is a clean line Softtail based Custom. Vinnie listen to my requests having rode Harleys my whole life and knowing this bike would be going somewere other than me, i wanted the winner to know my passion for the Vtwin hence the powertrain from the JIMS131 to the Baker 6speed to the S&S Ecu system coupled with the HSR 48mm Mikki and total induction system will make this bike someone can ride and enjoy.
Thanks for the support of the true meaning of this build and thats the Cancer Community were a persons flavor in builders is fairly relevent, Cancer has claimed the lives of many and many making a Rolling Tribute to this cause is all that matters to me.

Is Diamond P Sports/Productions still around? Here's hoping they don't sue you for copyright issues with your logo, which is almost identical to the one they use/used.

Iam not too concerned, Diamond P was a logo used on my company vechs soley for the purpose of promoting Cancer awareness if a Tv company based from the Nashville network from 1995 feels inclined to Steal from ACS then i guess this country has went to hell in a hand basket.
