They send out for frames and engines and fabricate parts fit to the bikes, for example a carb designed to look like a fire hydrant for the 911 bike. They fill a need for a great many armchair builders who sit around saying"I could do that." Artistic? Yes, to some degree. Performance minded? not a bit. But you must keep in mind that this was a reality show, designed to get ratings, and the fact that it imploded with various lawsuits between family members and the whole thing collapsing because of the top heavy egos and distractions just goes to show it was a great success. I watched it and enjoyed it,..... as a distraction, not to be inspired.( Poor Mickie.... I hope rehab got him better.)
