Now that's how you build a custom. Most of the other bikes with a similar style are cookie cutter bikes that claim to be "custom", such as Big Dog and other manufacturers like that. Yours is an actual custom, and it looks great!

Personally I only like the engine

I don't like the gap in the front and the one below the tank!!!

Even the exhaust looks like me mothers-in-law cvnt, what a hole on the aft!!!
