sometimes it surprises me, but a few of you like the odd Harley... so...

[Mr Moofo]

Its quite nice- if you like that sort of thing

[Dickyboy]

If I were to own a harley it would be one like that, not sure where I'd put the no plate thou as side mounted plates look hideous

[KungFooBob]

I was goin to say it looks just like every other Harley... then I spotted the front brakes.

[The Spin Doctor]

Can't imagine that twin calipers on a single front disc are going to do anything but overheat the disc.

And I can't imagine it goes round corners with that tractor tyre on the front.

[demographic]

To me it's not significantly worse than any other Harley.
So...erm...

Naah, yer alright.

[Skub]

Is that a 200 section on the front?

That bus will need power steering.

I like it to look at,but I'd probably hate it to ride.

[DefTrap]

My brother had a terrible cb750 uncle bunt framed chopper that looked a bit like that. With big fat tyres. Yes handled like a pig. Sort of cool though? It was certainly fun and eye catching.

[MingtheMerciless]

I like it, its how I'd have drawn and coloured a Harley when I was 12 (if I could draw and colour inside the lines).

[demographic]

The name though?
Is it a euphemism for an early morning stiffy?

[MrLongbeard]

200/60 ain't that big, s'long as you don't square it off.
But then I'm looking at it from my stock 150 point of view, I suppose if you've got widgy 120's or less it might seem that way.

[mangocrazy]

Interesting (in a detached kind of way) to look at, bet it would be an absolute pig to ride with that stupid fat front tyre, the no-travel front suspension and solid rear end.

[MrLongbeard]

It's an M8 softail, it ain't a rigid, the rear suspension adjuster is right there in plain daylight on the RHS

Fair cop - I'm clueless with Harleys (as you may have gathered).

Still reckon it wouldn't be much fun to ride.

I don't disagree, changing it to mid control instead of leaving the forwards to make it look sportier ain't gonna be comfy.

[Mr. Dazzle]

I'm enjoying the brake callipers in an abstract "er..OK then" sort of way.

[mangocrazy]

Not at all sure about the naming, either. 'Rough Crafts' is pretty close to 'Rough Trade', innit?

But then maybe that's the target market?

Where's the bumming hat when it's needed?

That caused a bit of a double take here, as well...

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

If you've got a nocturnal unicorn would the bumming hat fit?

[Skub]

If you've got a nocturnal unicorn would the bumming hat fit?

During daytime,yes.
