Its alright, if you are into the Show ponies!
I just ride mine.
Wonder how many miles a bike like that would have on it.
Can't imagine a bike like that doing serious road trips!!!

Nope but I wouldn't own that for long trips and I would ride the hell outta it locally!

I love the bike...going to build one like that soon. I don't understand why people think you couldn't do long trips on it...if it had an air suspension in the back, (not "air assisted" shocks) it would ride better than a stock street glide.
Good Work!

Looks good man. You can ride anything across country. i could ride a hard tail mini bike with a techumsi motor across country if i really wanna ride. Its all in how bad ya wanna ride. If i owned it you bet that sucker would be on the highway. like the paint.

The big wheel thing is growing on me and I love low customs but I can't actually ride them. Had Ness build me one back in '99 and after hitting the bags on every corner had to sell it. I did put over 20,000 miles on it. Loved the look and looks, hated the ride. Maybe as I slow up in my old age I'll think about it again?

I really like the powder coating. I like the concept. I really like the look of the stretched neck and big wheel. I have the same problem of hitting the bags as others have mentioned when they're stretched. That's why I haven't put them on my bike. I drug my stock bags when I had a 200/50 tire instead of a 200/55 with the stock shocks. That doesn't mean I don't like the way they look though. For me it would be a bar hopper. I would have something similar as a second bike. Only I would have to have maroon and white instead of orange and black. Gig 'em! If this is really your first stab at building a custom bike I think you did great. Different tastes make the world go round.
