Paul Jr. Designs (PJD) is a lifestyle brand motorcycle customizer and clothing vendor based in Rock Tavern, New York, USA. Paul Teutul, Jr. founded the design firm in 2009 after waiting out a one year non-compete clause with his former company, Orange County Choppers (OCC).

Teutul opened the motorcycle company in April 2010. TLC then commissioned a spin off series titled American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior, based on the original series American Chopper which ran for 6 seasons, now featuring builds from Orange County Choppers and Paul Jr. Designs.[1]

Cadillac build off

GM/Cadillac challenged both Orange County Choppers and PJD to design a bike using the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V-automobile as the inspiration. Proceeds from the auction of the bikes would be donated to Cure Duchenne. [19] Orange County Choppers designed a traditional classic but technical bobber bike, while PJD designed a "stretched-out" chopper with smooth lines, airbags that lower and raise the bike with no kick stand, and actual parts from a CTS-V.

After the fan votes were tallied, PJD's bike was declared the winner.

Three-way build off

The December 5, 2011 edition of American Chopper was a special two hour episode featuring a three-way build off between PJD, OCC, and Jesse James.

Inspired by an actual Titan T-51 Mustang that was brought into the shop,[20] PJD built a bike in tribute to the 3/4 near-scale replica kit plane. The bike has rivets with round heads that stick out like the T-51 and, despite having plenty of room, has four exhaust outlets per side.[21] A real North American P-51 has rivets that are flush and six outlets per side for its V-12 engine.[22]

OCC opted for their most radical design to date, an all-electric prone-rider tadpole trike with caterpillar tracks instead of wheels. James fielded one of his traditional hand-built choppers.

On December 6, during a live edition of American Chopper, PJD and the T-51 Mustang bike won the online fan voting and was declared the winner of the buildoff. James came in second, with OCC coming in last.
