I don't care about people laughing at me, I am laughing as well. Most riders do the wave then turn their head like "WTF was that?" It cracks me up and gives me just as many laughs. It is fun to ride, I can corner harder than either of my 2 other bikes because of its small size and lean angle. I have hit the floor boards a time or 2.
I could have put a real Electra Glide bat wing on it, but I measured my EG, and chose the Wixom fairing because it was 4 inches narrower and would look better, and more unique. I like the tear drop recesses in the Wixom for the turn signals as well.
I have had several offers from guys looking to buy their wife a starter bike. Then they see how easy it is and contemplate doing their own version.
Truth known, I would have never bought the bike if it wasn't so darn cheap. $2000 for a new bike with bags and 65mpg?
You can't buy a rolling chassis with wheels and tires for anywhere near this new.

Veeeeeeer, Innn-terrr-resting.
not sure my 6'5" 280 frame would fit on it,
But it sure made me go up and down the pics a few times. Frist I through it was a CB 750, 4 cly then I saw the engine guards made it look that way.
Never heard of a JPR, what was it like prior to the build??
anyway whether I would want it or not doesn't matter, it kinda neat.. good job...

Sweet job. Definitely one that will get a crowd. Some will laugh, others will appreciate your effort.
Here's one I came across at the Harley dealer in Brainerd, Mn, last summer.
