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.
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. 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.
