Not everyone has the guts to jump into creating something different.
You got skills, nice homebuilt.

Has anyone seen the raw Dyna done by Satya Kraus in Hot Bike magazine? It was a fxdx with a gsxr 1000 front end. Not exactly cafe racer, but a sweet race Dyna.

Here's the Second one, figures that it takes the Japanese to do something like that. I can't quite figure what they did to come up with the rearsets unless that is the stock FXDL passenger bracket they used. Either way, no passenger pegs and its interesting there aren't any photos of the other side of the bike.

why is it that the japanese can build cooler bikes than us americans??? Maybe it is because they have access to parts you just can't get here.

with all the shop on-line, world wide, ebay etc... I really don't think that's the reason !

the main reason is that they dare !

I don't wanna hurt anybody by saying this, but people, you don't make a head turner by buying parts from a catalog and spraying the whole bike flat black like 90% of the bikers !!

Coxbow hit the nail on the head. Anyone can do a parts book bike. It takes vision and skills to put together a mind blower. Thinking outside of the flat black box!

I think Euro builders are expose to different models and brands that most Americans wouldn't consider buying. They more much advanced than we in the States when it comes to road handling bikes and cars. They have more history and tradition of road racing and Grand Prix than we have. Just look at the Isle of Man races and their Grand Prix super bike races.
