Imagine pouring a jar op popcorn kernels in there

 

[HerrDeacon]

Looks like a Swiss build to me.

 

[cxman]

giant 750 cc bubble maker?

Rrear fender and all blinkers removed. (halfway to café racer)

Haha. That's definitely the bulk of the labor on any superb cafe build.

For $650, though, maybe there's something to be made of this...restomod?

 

[VonYinzer]

That BSA is a small pile of parts away from being awesome. New tank, bars, rear fender...

soooo much sad.

It already looks like a massively fat guy sat on it and collapsed it in the middle. Guess it was good planning for the inevitable...

On a more practical level, the wacky angle of that totally not-suited-for-that-position tank...are the petcocks in the very bottom/rear of that tank, or is he going to have half a tank of gas remaining when the bike stops feeding the engine?

"Let's do something awesome...retain the swingarm look, make it uglier, and simultaneously remove the immense practical benefit of suspension!!! All the while, making it a deathtrap during real-world use!"

LOL!

Not sure what to think about this bike.

Wow! that was someone's labor of love! I dont know what to think.. I get what they were trying to do, but for me it didnt land.. lol I dont think that was the right platform for that kind of build.
