I won't have 54k to spend on a bike any time soon, but this is one of the nicest touring builds I've seen (locally anyway). I'm normally not a fairing guy, and not a fan of the shark nose, but for some reason I love this one.
These type of custom builds are nice to look at in a show, for me, not so much to ride. From the looks of it, I'd be peeling that skinny banana seat out from between my fat *** cheeks after a good bump or two! Undoubtedly, someone will fall in love with it and buy it, just not me (as if I had that kind of disposable cash anyhow!).
There was a lot of craftsmanship that went into that build!
Not my cup of tea but I can appreciate the work that's gone into it! Not sure about those big front wheels on touring bikes - makes the front look too skinny.
I was in Quantico last week to tour the USMC Museum and decided to stop in at Quantico HD. They had some radical touring machines there + they're all built in-house. The front 2 are 2017s and the back one a 2016. Like the others, not my style, but beautiful work none the less. These would sell like hotcakes at the Cleveland dealership. But down here, if it ain't John Deere green + yeller, they ain't interested.
that's an ugly bike IMO...but at least the CDN $ is at 70¢ these days- so a bargain!
down here we have yaffe bagger nation and I see some bikes which are 'show" not so much "go"...
literally have seen one of these custom builds doing 45 mph in the middle lane with parts falling off- dude would have been runned over, but with his awesome pipes everyone in a 2 mile radius could hear this thing struggling
i was on my way back from virginia beach and my bike started leaking coolant and quantico hd was the closest dealer. there where a bunch of in house customs there then. all the staff where great had me back on the road in a hour and a half.
