got the classic looks of a vintage chopper with the reliability and comfort of an EFI rubber mount ride.

I know you are asking about the bars but can you post close up pics of the paint? It looks sick as hell and I want a closer look.

I didn't ask you what I thought of the brake - I asked of the bars, douchebag.
You're right, I didn't address the bars because I think they look like ****, but that's just my "unsolicited opinion" that you asked for.

I just stated that I'd have to have a front brake, then Hogdiver asked what brake you were running, and that was exactly what you were waiting for so you could try to make your incorrect point that rear brake = front brake, and to brag once again about your super awesome and cool Harley Porsche thing. You really had to work at that one to tie it in to the thread, so props for that.

popcorn material....i like the bike. i know shlongdong was going for a certain retro look of an old *** chop that he fell in love with and i'd say he nailed with what he had to work with. it's a new efi bike with a swingarm and no hardtail. you can't possibly make it look exactly like that bike but that's just the way it goes. if you like it shlingdong then that's all that matters. that paint seriously kicks some major *** though. raked front ends aren't my cup of tea but i think they look really good. high fives!

The bike has a ton of work and money in it, but it's not my cup of tea as well. The paint-sweet! the front end-Not bad, the bars-WTF???? The rear fender needs to be chopped as well as the fender struts, needs a rear laced wheel as well IMO. As far as the brakes go, I don't care what brakes he runs.

So since I have 2 cars and a truck does that mean I can take all the brakes off my bike and still be just fine since I still have alot of brakes left??? LOL!
