So much negativity from people on this site when it comes to custom bikes. You would be shocked if you knew how much time and money went into that bike. Its hard to build/design a bike that has not been done yet. I do not know the owner of this bike nor have I ever seen it before. Thanks to the OP for posting it.

I guess if we all rode stock bikes there would be nothing to complain about!

Rant over.........................

..I have to disagree..I see tons and tons of people complimenting each other on bikes in sig pics...and other pics...but when you get a bike like this one...which is "extreme"...you are going to get extreme comments...what are people supposed to do?..be dishonest and pretend to like it?...just sayin

To each his own. If someone pimp'd MY ride like that, there'd be a dead pimp shortly.....

A little to " Over The Top" for me. I personally don't care for the colour.

I am sure the builder likes it, the owner hopefully likes it, and maybe his mother does to, (but even she may be jiving him!) point is that bike was posted to have the bikers who are attuned to bikes, respond, and if they respond negatively. what does it matter to anybody else. just seems like a lot of like minded people have commented as they see it. and it's still ugly!!

It probably is arresting in person. There isn't much about it that I don't like about it, although if it were a bike I was going to ride, I'd have a more subtle paint scheme. Interesting that the gas tank wasn't extended.

The Captain America clone in the background is a nostalgic piece now, but in its day, it was every bit over the top as the big wheel custom baggers are now. More so than most, because it was a trend setter.
