I like it.

I wouldn't be able to ride it.

I don't have a lumberjack shirt.

Nice. Subtly different from the normal bimmer customs.

It even has a plate bracket, non brown seat and an exhaust not made up of bits from an M&P catalogue. ;) Very little to complain about

It's got a pod filter... and an airbox!

I wonder if they kept the filter in the airbox too, for double filtered air?

Nice job. Only niggles are the silly sideways can and I'm not a fan of that series of engines. The café racer riding position is too 'Ooh me back!' for me but I'd have a quick spin (with wrist braces on).

I like it apart from the hole in the frame.

what's with the gaping hole ? Couldn't they have put an Aeropress holder in there?

Looks long.

Looks heavy.

Looks uncomfortable.

Looks better than any stock K I've seen.
