I'm stunned, there are a lot of tight motorcycles out there for $20k, I've seen lots of nicer bikes on ebay end with zero bids at half that price, I couldn't imagine that going for much over MSRP for a 48.

I asked that exact question of the seller and was told by them that they are the stock bars. They did not look stock to me that was why I asked.

Seen one done like this at the Timonium show this past weekend... I thought it was a very clean job. Just wish there was some kind of way to hide/eliminate the oil tank/shock area...

It just might look OK if there were a lot less spokes in the wheels, and of course something different done with the headlight.
Still only worth maybe $10,000 though.
