In October, 2007, Klipsch—the number one speaker brand in the United States—commissioned Orange County Choppers™ (OCC)—the country’s best-known custom bike builder—to fabricate a speaker-inspired chopper that reflects the company’s rebellious spirit and no-compromise audio legacy.

Within months, Klipsch was ready to rumble.

Like every OCC chopper, the Klipsch bike is truly unique to this day. It reflects the 65-year-old company’s true personality by featuring its signature black and copper color scheme, horn and woofer adornments, detailed Paul W. Klipsch (PWK) tributes, as well as Klipsch logos on the air filter and black leather seat.

Like the booming high-quality sound of all Klipsch products, the Klipsch bike brought the heat thanks to Orange County Choppers.

Specs:

• 124-inch fully polished S & S motor with 130-hp

• 5-speed chrome Baker transmission

• Hard-tail frame with custom built oil pan

• 330 rear tire—the largest tire at the time

• Right side drive to keep balanced

• Custom made rims with PWK logo

• Custom made Klipsch speaker system under the seat to emulate a normal oil tank with mini-stereo input to drive with iPod

• Palladium P-39 rear ridge on gas tank

• Bike dimensions: 10'L x 5'W x 5'H, 650-lbs

Upon becoming the name-in-title sponsor of Indiana’s Klipsch Music Center, Klipsch unveiled plans to extend its fundraising efforts with the Make-A-Wish® Foundation. After housing the branded Orange County Chopper onsite at the amphitheater over the course of the 2012 concert season, the up-for-auction motorcycle now features more than 50 signatures from artists including Dave Matthews Band, Zac Brown Band, Lady Antebellum, KISS, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Bush, Jimmy Buffett, Jason Mraz, Darius Rucker, Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean and Brad Paisley to name a few.

Upon its purchase, all funds will benefit Make-A-Wish to grant wishes to children who have been diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses.
