yeah, there's custom... and then there's CUSTOM
the latter of which wallows in confusion, bizarreness, radicalness, and just plain ugliness
I don't like it, and wouldn't waste my money on such a monstrosity.

I don't know ... I'm a little ambivalent ... a few features I like about it, and overall, I don't find it repulsive, but who the F()CK would drop 125 large for that is beyond me ....
I guess if you've more money than sense ....
Another question ocurred to me: why a Street Bob and not a Softail as a starting point? Nothing about it that couldn't have been done to a Softail and been an almost identical bike ... ?????
I'm not a big fan of the single swing arm ... other than that a lot of cool features ...
I like big up front, but that front tire is a little over the top ....
I like those wheels, but if you're going to that much trouble and expense, why not mirror the design on both sides instead of using car wheels ... the left side doesn't look right ... not nearly as clean ....
I like the idea of cleaning up the bars, but why not put the clutch on the left foot vice a hand pull if you're doing a jockey/suicide shifter ...?
Internal throttles clean up the front, but are reputed to be unreliable long-term ....
A little surprised Joe Knapp hasn't jumped in defending the girder front end ....
Overall ... not bad ... whatever; but, ridiculous to put it out there for that much ....
