Quite like that. :thumbup:

Personally, I'd work out some sort of protection for the front wheel, it looks a bit bare and unfinished but I guess that's the style developed in dry places.

I'd ditch the armpit mirror too.

I like the colour.

Sometimes I think these custom builders should just stick to painting stuff, it seems to be what they're good at.

Rather scarily, I thought "not too bad" until the brain kicked in and said "no chain cover or front mudguard. Where's the taillight, and what's that stupid headlight about?"

And then I thought... actually I still quite like it.

I like the shape,but not all the bling. Needs to be more understated.

As Harleys go, it's much better than most. I like all the detail touches, but those two tone wheels look shite, it desperately needs a front mudguard and rear hugger, and those mirrors are just rubbish. In spite of all that, it looks like it could be a real hoot.

Usual comment about mudguards yada yada yada.
Other than that it's no uglier than other Harleys so I guess it's not bad?

Damned by faint praise.
