I have to admit, I'm pretty impressed. I was a tad disappointed to see disc brakes. I was expecting a rope and anchor.

Greetings,
Or the guy could be a pretty darned good builder and shaking out the bugs before he spent a mint plating and painting stuff...
Kinda like: let's build something completely custom that no poser can buy and actually test it a little first.
This is a good example of a true Custom and not a "bolt-together special."
Evidence: notice the two nice scooters in the background of pic 2 that seem to share a family heritage....

I kinda like it but the whole front end just looks too big and clunky to me.

Nice looking custom, I like it. I especially like how he incorporated the oil tank into the rear fender. You can hardly tell its there.

Love everything except the fork. Out of proportion.

I do like the idea of front leaf springs and have seen them before (though never down there to act like a fender).

If he lets the engine weather on its own and not baby the chrome, it'll look sick in a few thousand miles.
