It looks odd, like it doesn't have the right proportions. The fork looks too long or the front wheel is too small. the knee dents are ok, but the knee pads are too small :S
He did good work, but a HD is hard to cafe i guess ..
Why not just whack a HD engine in a Featherbed frame and call it a day? http://www.bikeexif.com/norton-motorcycle
 
Pure bandwagonism. All looks and poor handling.

It looks heavy, the frame too light for that motor and note the right hand down tube with the weird drilled bend. The forks are too long, rear tire too wide, the primary belt looks like it is a foot wide and the gear lever is on the left hand side. Stick to building choppers.

well said swan!
 
good eyes! Just for s**ts and giggles I quickly put this distinguished panel of critics to the test and increased the front wheel size and shortened the forks. You all were right:

little things make a big difference....
 
Its a pretty good example of what happens when a chopper company decides they want to be in a few more magazines.

Lots of standard off the shelf chopper parts thinly veiled as cafe racer bits.

Though, if you look at most of the bikes that company builds, theres something a little "off." At least to me...
 
i love the rear sets ,or more like mid sets! looks like you'd have your feet below your elbows for f**k sake, this is pure motorcycle wrongness in every way, not a chop not a cafe not a lot of anything................ apart from shit ideas screwed together
 
I dont think it wouldnt be that bad if they changed the whole front end, but thats like saying shes hot but her face needs to change. :D

No, it'd still be bad. It has the "brokeback-wannabeafeatherbed-tried-to-hard" syndrome.

And those shocks mounted down there annoy the piss out of me.

Yea I agree with u now that I look at it harder, chopper people need to keep to the choppers.
 
Was it Queen that sang "Nice legs. Shame about the boat race". BC will understand. Theres a number of things that need to be changed. Rear shocks first and foremost. Too much travel on the forks. And above all it needs 19" rims front and rear. Plus the exhaust pipes look terrible. I'm really curious about the front downtube. But it could be made into something handsome. But as has been said, chopper people need to stick to choppers.

I wonder why such a large rear sprocket?

I'll 'learn ya sumpin' ;)
It's a torque thing.
The primary ratio is high so the transmission gear teeth don't have to deal withas much torque multiplication.
Gearing has to be lowered and final drive is the only thing left.
It also uses a big front sprocket so you have more chain engagement, plus, chain doesn't have to 'bend' so far to get around sprocket
