I spotted this abomanation at a recent rally, but what the hell is it? Truely hideous. IMHO

you put a tan saddle on that thing and it would look pretty similar to your heritage at a quick glance. now how ugly is it?
I guess ugly, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

It's not my style but I wouldn't call it an abomination. There was one in the local Honda dealer that sat on the floor for two years before it sold so I'm sure that says something.

I seem to have stepped a few folks sensitivities so perhaps I used the wrong term when I called it ugly and abomantion. Maybe bizarre & ungainly is a better choice of adjective in this kinder, gentler world.

Great color! Not my thing, but I'm sure the owner loves it.

Nah Marsh, you were right the first time. It is hideous. What's up with that exhaust?

Im sure its a great bike. Not classic, but Im sure their owners enjoy the crap outta them.

But if Im going to be riding any cruiser motorcycle that had a motor in it that WAS NOT a V-Twin, only a 502 Boss Hoss will do. If your going for gobs of power and a V-twin isnt the answer, why frak around? Seriously...
