Default Magpul Ronin Buell- Crazy Looking Bike

http://www.cycleworld.com/article.as...rticle_id=2191

Check out the bike in the link above. If you're an AR shooter you probably know about Magpul. They bought a bunch of Buells and have been tinkering. Most interesting to me is the radiator mounted directly on the girder fork. Seems insane but then people said the same thing when Eric started mounting underslung exhausts, put fuel in the frame, oil in the swingarm, and the brake rotor on the perimeter of the wheel. I'd like to see this kind of forward thinking go into producing more original American sport bikes rather than blinged out gay looking trailer queen choppers. If a gun company can think like this, why can't the "custom" bike builders?

Looks kinda like a Confederate Wraith with the girder fork.
