Why does it need 4 Cup holders? One is more than enough for a motorbike.

Looks great - could be mistaken for a factory concept & I'd happily tool around on it.

Nicely done. Wouldn't mind a go for as long as my wrists and back allowed.
3 minor quibbles (apart from the wheelbase could be a bit shorter)..
Having made such a nice job of it, the exhaust wrap looks a bit of a scruffy short cut.
Armpit mirrors. Although they don't look so stupid on this for some reason.
A general point for many of these. Get rid of the tyre pimples...at least try and make it look like it might have been ridden.

Pretty cool, I'd have that in heartbeat. Don't think I'd change anything ...

I like how they've given it open bell mouths and kept the airbox

Other than what looks like the worlds most uncomfortable bar positioning, I'd be all over that....

It's 'retro', inspired by the 'air scoops' on the original V-MaxKungFooBob wrote: ↑Tue Jun 14, 2022 8:16 am I like how they've given it open bell mouths and kept the airbox

Certainly looks like a better solution than clip-ons. AnotherDefTrap wrote: ↑Tue Jun 14, 2022 9:51 amI really like those!

Be nice to see more of these customs with the rider on board/being ridden. Can't really get to grips with the ergos without.

Nicest brick I've seen,but how could you resist flicking fag butts etc into those bellmouths?
