That right there is a rolling oxymoron. Mind you, I would still buy it and tear it apart and do something real with it.

I like it but not the chrome. I'd give him 4k/4500 and paint the whole thing.
Black frame
Nightster tank (to keep it real haha)(obviously block the fuel pump hole)
Wide white walls.
spoked rear
black rear fender
new bars with no mirrors.

I agree, seems like he could of done something behind it on the lower rail, I think the pipes would have to go, needs some sideshots on it. I used to have a Hodaka Combat Wombat when I was a kid and it was all chrome.That was 1 bad *** bike, used to eat Elsinore's for breakfast and YZ's for dessert! heres a pic of one.

it looks hobbled together.

if it was done right at LEAST as a show bike, the frame would be black or red or blue, some really vivid color, and the front fender and engine cases and rear sprocket would be chrome as well.

its just a half assed bike, best use would be to be torn down and get a new paintjob.
