I like it better in the video, the first pics make it look like the Big Wheel I used to ride as a kid.

I'm just not feeling the first bike in the picture. Looks like the owner couldn't decide what he wanted to do with the bike. I like the big wheel comment, very funny!! As for the bike in the video, at least he stayed consistant front to back. Sort of gives the bike a 10-speed bicycle look, but to each their own. BTW, I don't see how the screamo music in the video goes with the bike.

It was probably one of his favourite songs. lol. I can't imagine.

I, personally, like the look of the first bike much more. The second bike just looks unreal...and in a bad way. The first one actually looks like one I could see somebody riding. Still, the tank lift is too high. And, who uses a 23" wheel? I haven't even seen that over in the softail forum. BTW, where would you find tires for that?

I like the clip-ons, myself. They just WORK with sportsters. Apes on the other hand, are a no-no. I have always felt that sporties are meant to be aggressive and...well, sporty. Apes are completely the opposite. They are relaxed, chill, and slow. It gives the same effect as putting apes on a crotch-rocket. Sporty fashion dictates that clip-ons work, apes don't. But, the bottom line still states "it's your bike." Do what you want and be happy. Nobody else has to like it.
