That's really quite nice. I normally hate dangly plate hangers but that's a neat solution getting a light & plate onto that rear end.

You might want to edit the article link though :)

Get rid of the silly fairing, and yes, nicely done. With the fairing on, nope

Points for making an actual rideable bike and general it's nice looking but that faring makes it look pregnant

From some angles it's fairly attractive, but from others it's verging on hideous. Front view is pretty gash - bulbous and vaguely reminiscent of a Minion. And all topped off (or bottomed out) with that ridiculous sidestand.

Not for me.

But it does give an insight into what weeksy was ebaying prior to posting... :)

"Old skool cool" I believe is the phrase. Think i'd have gone for a 7"round headlight though...

Give it a classic round headlight & a fairing that didn't give me neck pain and I'd be in.
