That thing is sweet. I like to see another orange 48 getting tweaked. How comfortable are those bars?

They're good so far. Obviously comfort was thrown out the window with this build.

Frame and fender chopped.





I just dont know how you guys have the Guts to chop a bike to bits like that ?
Dont get me wrong it always looks great when i see it but to actually take a grinder to a brand new bike and saw it in half
I mean that really is the point of no return.
Just interested has anybody ever taken a sporty back to the dealer and try to part ex-change it after its been cut..just interested in what they said.
Nice bike though well done

very very clean man! really dig the white walls and how you chopped up that rear end.... i think if you where to wrap the header portion of the pipes in some white wrap it would tie in a bit better with the vintage feel the bike has now... really dig it though bud nicely done!

I cut and chop every vehicle i own. It's in my blood. Not sure what the dealer would say, but I usually sell most of my projects to private sellers when the time comes.

I don't personally, but there are a ton on YouTube.
