Default Another Stunner from Barnett Harley: Gilliland Customs "Easy On The Eyes" FXR

The author is pretty taken with this one... Looks a little too slick for me. What do you guys think?

Not my style either. It really doesn't even look anything like a FXR. It's stretched, and lowered…pretty much defeating the original purpose of the bike's design.

Nope. Maybe a 'maybe' if it was bright red or orange, but that color looks like it was left out in the sun too much.

I don't really care for it, but it's good workmanship. If I was going to try to slap on all the body work and make a bike look smooth and aerodynamic, I'd start with a softail or rigid. That shock on the rear ruins the lines of the whole project.
