Default Who Makes This Bike?

I saw this at a bike shop swap meet. Not sure, but it looked like a V-Rod engine. I have never seen one of these and was just wondering who makes them. Thanks.

It was pretty impressive in person. It looked like some kind of transformer movie bike. I never saw who was riding it. Wish I could have talked to them about it.

Definitely a V rod power plant, and definitely wild looking.

I'm guessing it's a one-off custom that someone made and won a ton of trophies with. That thing is pretty sweet looking. I wonder how it handles.

I kind of like it. If I had $50K to **** away, I would buy one in black. It would go great with my Batman costume.
