As a matter of fact that style will be my next build but I must admit the colors are horrific (IMO) and I'm not a fan of using motors as stressed frame components, I understand the "uniqueness" of it but I don't want my Harley lookin anything like a Ducati. Kudo's to using a Buell/Sporty motor....cool.

This is what I have in mind:

I think that's why I like the looks of the Tribute bike (minus the paint) a little more. They are both very nice looking bikes though.

Motor/Pipes look OK,wheels,calipers,sliders do too but the frame,lights,triple trees all look silly,esp the pointy bits @ lower front of frame.
Back in the day they used to say "if it looks right,it is right" and that don't look right to me.
