    That looks like someone put some time and thought into it.

        Harley look

        I thought it had kind of an old school Harley look too, Nate...

        But the forward controls have me intrigued. I emailed him, but no response yet. I had only seen the TC Bros kind, but dont like the looks of those as much.

          Just Me???

          Is it just me or does the bike look to suffer from being lowered a bit too much? It appears you'd start scrapping those header pipes REAL quick 'specially on the left side

            My thoughts exactly. Pretty much a curb queen.

            Don't turn to sharp to get into the parking spot though.

              I like the bike, but I'd feel bad riding it knowing that someone took a jap bike and made it look like a harley. Looks to be well done though.

                You could get a better exhaust set up and I bet it would corner fine.It's probably comfortable on longer rides too.
