You about got me convinced to build one of these. Now all I need to do is find a running sporty for 500 bucks like that guy on the other thread

I don't mind them either way. A little differentiation from the CO thing isn't necessarily a bad thing. CO does some killer bikes but it's ashame that they're all becoming copies of the last one with different paint. Chopped 2.2 tank, Deluxe Champs, attack bars, chain conversion, kickup rear fender, and that same damn exhaust system just about every time. I guess because everything is at your fingertips on the net it makes it seem like CO bike are everywhere. When odds are you'd be the only guy withing 500 miles with that style bike.
