nice find, i think that a custom bike like that looks a lot better with a yamaha four cyl. instead of some obnoxious overpriced v-twin. cool bike.Whoever coined the phrase livin' the dream forgot to mention whether it was a good dream or bad dream.

Hi Darrell & welcome,
Definitely NOT my style but that's fine, if you like the way it looks it's the bike for you.
OK, the builder has retained the rear suspension and the gas tank looks big enough to take the machine an adequate distance so you could just climb aboard and take off to the coast. Or the Rockies. Or wherever.
But no passenger capacity so you can't pick up a blonde hitch-hiker chick on the way.
But where you gonna put the plate?Fred Hill, S'toon

i actually traded an older mustang for this the gentleman i bought it from paid $3500.00.
As for the tag...in the pic you can see the drive out tag is mounted sideways on the right side of the bike and this is where i put my GA tag hopefully its legal mounted that way LOL!!
Thanks for the comments and for the warm welcome!!Comment

That is a sweet looking ride.
If possible, please provide additional information on those forward controls. It appears (through my ageing eyes) that they have retained the mid-controls are are linked to the forwards. Please let me know how the forwards hold up to weight/pressure from everyday use/abuse.Comment
-
The foward controls are custom fabricated but still connect with the the mid control section which is basically footrests now. and as far as weight and pressure i'm 270lbs and ride daily and have had no issues except for the pegs vibrating loose once. I hope this answers your question and I'll post up some more pics when the weather permits and try to get some up close and detailed
I appreciate all the comments good and bad LOL!! Everyone different
My girlfriend just advised me that it could be for sale so make offers or stand by for the for sale post at a later time in the proper section
