Looks like the rear wheel would need to send feedback via postcard!

It could send signals in sine waves along that chain run. The whole thing looks nicely done and that fairing looks a bit familiar cf a recent thread about a new bike launch.
Not queuing up for one though.

He’s fitted the bars so they actually miss the bashes in the front of the “1950s Manx Norton (Haha)” tank.

Up close it looks like a quality job, but the swinging arm makes the wheelbase far too long. At least Buell made their attempt quick steering but this looks like the design has defeated the objective.

All race style HDs have to be compared to the original Goliath. This one falls wildly short.

Maybe it would appeal to diehard Harley fans,but I can't see that being fun to ride and I'm not sold on the aesthetics.

That was my first thought. Looks like the XSR900GP has started a trend for (crap looking) letter box headlights.
