Well, it IS interesting. Not really my taste personally... but it's not bad. It looks like a rigid slammed into the back of a dyna though- I find it's a little choppy, line wise.

I would suggest:

1) drop the rear another inch or two.
2) much smaller seat- shave maybe 2-3 inches of the back of the pan and another inch or so off the width. Should be nearly flush with the frame.
3) get rid of the turn signals.

Otherwise... cool work, true to the spirit of customization!

i like alot of the touches youve done....not all...but i dont have to...it's yours and you dig it...thats what counts!!!
the only suggestion i'd make: [if i may]
i'd definately lose the stock seat ....a nice lil sprung solo would be the shizzle,and it would clean up the lines of the back-end alot...just my opinion [of course]
either way..YOU'VE done a lot of work to YOUR bike..and thats what its about!
good on ya!

Bars - designing a set of custom ones that ChopRocks is going to build for me and then PC satin black....
Seat - working on getting Xian on doing up a total one off custom...
Lower back - i'm going to stick with function over form on this one - those are 3/4" longer Works Performance shocks - custom assembled with springs for my body weight. IT WORKS LIKE IT IS AND IS VERY FAST IN TWISTIES - LOWER = it would drag on street.
I'm stuck with turn signals as this bike gets pulled over often. I was at the dealer when 20 cops stopped by - they spent alot of time looking and pointing while I hid. COPS KNOW THIS BIKE !!!
This bike is a wash and blow off and go special - very low maint. AND VERY FUN TO RIDE!!! (unlike my bagger)

I think i'll the make the seat a priority...It's kind of wierd - there is nothing to mount the springs on the seat to...
When you take off the stock fender the back of the seat is 6" in the air - a standard rigid seat won't work...currently sending out feelers on how to procede - I may get a spare seat off e bay and have someong shave and recover it...NO RUSH THEN...
GOOD OR BAD - THANKS FOR REPLYS !!!

Tank badge on one side only,thats different.
Did you brake your duster clutch leaver and stick it on the battery cover.
I do like your front brake set up.
Overall very different.

The Seat I'm sure you will figure out . As for the Rocker Boxes and Cylinders Go back to black. The MotherWell rack Looks ok Now (you need something for height there)After you get theseat and rear height right maybe it should go.Other Wise, Cool to be Diffrent, Make it your Own.. That's what it's about.....Trotter
