I like it...except the gas tank.
I would probably black out the bolts on the hard tail struts and swing arm mount.
But ouch, I'd bet the ride is harsh.

Nice work on the battery cover and oil tank. I don't like anything else about it.

Reminds me of the chopper days in the 70's. My brother built one out of a Honda 750. I thought it was cool till I rode it home from Yipsilanti Mich to Dayton, Oh. You couldn't pay me to ride one now.

I salute someones idea and dream of THEIR ideal bike. I hope the owner builder rides and loves it.

I could never ride a bike with bars like that... But I do think it's pretty!
