Pretty cool, but just looking at that hard tail and hard mounted seat sends a jolt of sharp pain up my spine and rattles my teeth, man. All style, no practicality whatsoever...

I lived with HD disc brakes in the 1970's. They were marginal compared to today's units. I can't imagine negotiating traffic today without a front brake. Along with the suspension it looks unrideable IMHO.
I like it. The seat could be a bit more rider friendly, and if you could find a 360 front brake, it would be a bit more rideworthy. But as a piece of art, very nice! I like the taillight.
Nice looking bike but it is more "Motorcycle Art" than a practical ride. Harsh ride, small tank and short megaphone exhaust would make a ten minute ride seem like hours.
Great to look at but what about value? No doubt the builder effects the value but whenever I see a bike that uses an aftermarket frame or custom frame I wonder about resale value. I want a "Harley" that has a Harley title and VIN otherwise its not a Harley at all. It can be likened to a kit car cobra with all the right ford parts but the VIN matters.
Are bikes different in this regard or am I just too picky?
