Aside from the Enormous headlight bucket, what's wrong with that 450? Maybe the fork brace too. But that one's really not that bad...

I agree, except for that rare case of headlight bucket elephantitis it looks pretty cool. Not worth the asking price, but cool.

I like the Q&A at the bottom.

 

[Represto]

I like the big bucket 450. I also like the dirty ape-hung bike. Maybe I'm losing my edge? Did I ever had any kind of edge?

 

[Flugtechnik]

We all like big buckets.....but not on our bikes.

 

[gnomer43]

Wasn't that 450 built by someone who is on this board?

 

[Represto]

There was a link to someone's photo bucket account...and it had a bunch of pictures of this bike

this bike is sick! love how he frenched in the speedo! i like the big lamp!

 

[saucer]

no i like the bike, it's the headlamp that's retarded, i could'nt see someone building that bike, then putting such a large lamp on it, but to each his own,

 

[boomshakalaka]

I agree, that lamp needs to go! Seriously, does the rear wheel even get any traction?

 

[Deviant1]

It's definately an opinion thing. But my opinion is that the thing is Freakin huge! Not just that, but it's hung way out there, a different headlight mount may have made it a little better, but that thing is gigantic!

 

[Represto]

I can barely get all my wiring in my headlight bucket. This guy had to get all the wiring AND his speedo. I'm sure he's still got room to stash a bag o' weed in there (border crossings, etc).

Okay, I went through the build, and aside from the headlight I still like the bike.
Here's my favorite part of the build thread:
"Dude, you could fit the battery in that headlight bucket."
It's posted just after he put the bucket on... so we're not the only folks that noticed this

 

[Represto]

This site doesn't have any bikes, but it's just soooo jaw dropping that I had to post it in here.

I found this lovely pink turd. Apparently the owner made the frame in his workshop.

That poor Duc, what did it ever do to deserve that kind of mistreatment?
