Don't care for it myself but I'm sure someone will see it's hidden beauty.
Definitely not a long distance tourer, at least not for this middle aged butt!

Maybe just a tad imagination challenged?
Other than the swing arm mod (and I'm not too sure about how safe that one is) DaBubba's blows it away....

Saw it in January when it was first listed... thought it looked like a piece of sh#t then and, funny thing, still looks like a piece of sh#t now.
What a waste of a good bike

How can you compare the two... they're at complete opposite ends of the scale with, (in case anyone can't figure it out) DaBubba's at the high end.
Rat Rod Bobber... -10; DaBubba's... +++10
and, the winner is........
(me... I got all the good parts in the junkyard first )

It definately just looks like a beginners hack-job to me. Maybe it's the "Ugliest P.O.S. you have ever seen that looks weathered and neglected" theme he was going for?? Plus, with the cheap pod filters, it's not only going to LOOK like crap, it will run that way too above 5k RPM.
But apparently somebody thinks it's cool. It has 4 bids so far. I'd give about $50 max on it just for what parts are left. With all the gauges and stuff gone, by the looks of the butcher job on the bike, what shape do you think the wiring will be in? Probably fancily twist-tied the wires and tried to tuck them somewhere where they won't ground out on the frame.

I believe it's made to be part of the "Rat Rod" craze. It might get some looks at cruise night. I certainly wouldn't want to ride it, much less own it.Marty (in Mississippi)

I totally agree, John. The welds don't even look structurally safe.
