TBH it looks a bit of a mess.
But, having said that, it's probably a fast, good handling mess.
I think I quite like it (apart from the tail unit). Hmm.

Aside from the tail unit, I like it.

I don't mind it, but I prefer the stock SS.

As with black pudding, not to everyone's taste.......the builder knows this.
Their next build is a Marmite 1200.

I really like that.
I'd consider a stock SS if you could buy one.

It's a rolling tat-mobile. It's probably quite capable, but it's an entirely taste-free zone.

I remember reading that. Also that a rucksack could rip your arm off.Potter wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 11:41 am The fuel filler caps would rip your knackers right off if you ran into the back of someone.
There is something 1980's Performance Bikes Special about it that I like, I'd never consider owning such a thing, or any of the Spondon type bikes that used to appear on that page, but it's definitely got that nostalgic look about it.
I wonder if neither is true.

It's a bit messy, especially the fuel tank

It amazes me that testicles could deform a steel fuel tank. I'm not saying it's not possible, but it amazes me.

The EIGHT! is way too big but apart from that and the daft fuel fillers I quite like it!

Purposeful, just don't like the single offset headlamp.

I put a dent into the back of an LC tank with my nuts when I hit a Capri, my nuts were black for a few days.MyLittleStudPony wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 5:51 pm It amazes me that testicles could deform a steel fuel tank. I'm not saying it's not possible, but it amazes me.
I put a dent in the back of an R1 tank with my nuts when I hit an Astra, my nuts were black for about a month.

I used to own a Honda CB77. It had a fuel tank that went vertically at 90 degrees from the seat for 3 or 4 inches before tapering off. I vividly remember seeing a photo of two indents in a CB77 tank that precisely corresponded to testicular imprints. That gave me food for thought.
