And from the looks of it...that bike started out as an 883, or was rebuilt with new jugs and heads....I've never seen an original 1200 with mismatched color on the jugs/heads when compared to the cases.
How does it make no sense? That engine doesn't make any sense. And if there ever was a 1200 sold from the factory with silver cases and black cylinders or vice-versa then that makes absolutely ZERO sense. Why the hell would someone actually buy a brand new bike mis-matched like that? And better yet, why the hell would HD actually SELL one? What, did they just run out of silver or black parts that day? Probly not.
And yes, the styles DO clash. I'm not saying it's ****ty work, I'm just saying that the entire front of the bike doesn't fit the entire back and all the chrome looks VERY out of place with the blacked out wheels, springer, and risers.
Certainteed is right...it's nice and clean and I'm not arguing that, but it's no bobber. The overall idea screams 60's chopper, but it looks like something just got lost in the mix towards the back end.
