Why would you do this?
What are you hoping to accomplish here?
There are many much faster bikes that are already setup to cafe race!?!#
Harley aren't in the same league and doing this only shows you are not growing up.
When you do you will understand the error of your ways.

Watch your leg on that chain!

Neato...how does it perform? I'm particularly interested in the exhaust.

+1....but if there was no sarcasm it's prolly because he's some old fart that goes around telling all his old fart bretheren, "yeah i used to be fast and ride cool euro cafe's". when in reality he was probably riding a vespa. btw, who said he was racing the bike you douche? you can't appreciate craftsmanship?

When you do you will understand the error of your ways. And I'm sure you'll be there to say I TOLD YOU SO, but don't hold your breath.

Watch your leg on that chain! Never seen a chain on a bike?
Don't know DP from the next builder but this bike is really pretty damn nice. It's ok for people having a contrary point of view on bikes but to basically say that they were WRONG TO BUILD IT and go on to try and make a case for that is just stupidity. You don't like it fine, but can you at least appreciate the creativity and ingunuity as well as the craftsmanship? Probably not. That tank? Custom. That exhaust? Custom. That oil bag? Custom. And on and on....you won't see another like it. Someone had to come up with that idea and have it come to life in their shop. I'm envious of the skills on dsiplay in that bike. Put that bike next to any stock bike and see who gets more questions and gawkers.

Nice job DP, can't wait to see the hard tail.
