I don't care for the Drag specialties bike, but the one in Baggers magazine is cool.

I would not spend my own money to make the bike look like that,
but to be honest if I won a bike and had choice between a normal paint job and the one in the Baggers magazine I would take the Baggers bike.

Very interesting ideas.
But the workmanship details are incredible.

Very cool. Even better is that fat slob sitting on the curb with a plate of food. Is this a thing at every Dealership?

Fake rust, on plastic. Meanwhile, the metal parts shine. Not very creative. Discordant. What was the designer trying to convey? They could have spent less $$ on nice metallic or pearl and had a sharp bike.

LOL, I hadn't noticed the seat until your post. I'm actually looking for something like that. The seat that is.
