That's a ton of detailed work, but it still not very appealing. I hate to bash someone elses hard work, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This beholder thanks that thing is fugly.

I would trade him straight up lol, its obvious since he won best bagger of sturgis contest and I'm sure tons of trophies that it isn;t just "beauty in the eye of the beholder"

I'm sure it's some amazing craftsmanship/artistry. I'll also admit it's new and different, but still don't like it. However, I wouldn't expect everyone to agree with me. It's like any other work of art, each person decides what moves thier soul. This moves your soul, but not mine and that is fine and part of the appeal of customizing Harleys.

I saw this 1st Fugly at Full Throttle contest in Sturgis (the orange one), it was the best bike I saw that week. It was really something else and I am not a fan of the monster front wheels, eveything worked together (including the Porsche headlight)

Maybe the pic just doesn't do it justice like he suggested.

Works for me, don't like blue usually but that works. Would take it for the long haul, but very creative.

the blue one above is alot like the orange one just way more detail with the scallops,flared out side covers and he has a trick exhaust with both pipes exiting the center of the rear fender. bike should be at the rosemont show this weekend.bottom line is its a show bike and the guy does have alot of talent with super detail. personally some things I like on it some I could live without. at least it ain't a boring batwing

For riding, which is the reason I own my bike, I'd rather have my Road King Classic.

For looking at, I'd still rather have my Road King Classic.
