Apart from an ugly seat and paint, is it much difference to stock?

He's done fuck all in terms of real modifications, just thrown a load of aftermarket parts at it and learned how to use a 3D printer. Despite his 'add lightness' comment he's failed to tell us just how much lighter the bike is than stock. Not much, I reckon. And he's also achieved something I wouldn't have thought possible - he's made it uglier than the OEM bike.
