Default Ugliest bike ever? Or just "special"

I was searching random cities on craigslist just to look at the bike pics (what, you don't do that?) and came across the title "SCENE KILLER BOBBER" so i obviously had to have a look. It's a '75 xlch. Now i believe everyone is entitled to their own taste in what looks good but what I found was this poor bike with a color combo i think might have been picked by stevie wonder and built with parts that just.... well look for yourself and decide.....

Few color mods and it would not be all that bad

Doesn't look too bad in the pics, probably looks better up close.
I was curious so I found the ad. They are only asking $7.

Vegas. On top of the safety orange paint It just looks incredibly awkward to ride. Struts that look like they lift the fender too high and a forward angled seat that looks like it drops your sack on the backbone. To me it just looks like a bunch of parts that don't work together for the most part.

What a strange way to camouflage a springer
