Kinda wish the bend was closer to end but workable.

But ugly and the only bike I dislike. However.

"APX" 28 - 32 deg rake 4" trail axles level, frame seems flat, rear axle lower then pivot decent... I'd say it will ride, but who knows how it will turn in. until you have real #'s and weight spring rate yada yada yada

Looks like the wheel will crash into the engine if you did ever compress the forks. Probably not but looks too tucked.

Good work. What diameters are you able to work with? May need one of those in the near future.
 
Currently restricted to 1"- 3.5 and 3 bend radii, and .875- 3.0. But I'm experimenting with trying to create a 3.25 die set and swaging the end to match a cb350 box section.

The frame mods have me thinking of one of these...yet with an uglier maggot seat and a tank that fits like an awkward fedora


Yeah - it reminded me of one of these as well....

Thanks for doing that and showing, I will be getting one soon
 
my favourite is the front wheel that will smash the radiator and lower triple

Just useless as a rideable bike

Always been interested in how Auto Fabrica bikes actually perform. Sure they look good but I've never heard anything that goes further than that...
 
I can't see the riding position being very comfortable, but it's very good looking. Great tank.

Look good? Fuckin thing is hideous.

Come on man! I can see your point BUT the tank and pipes are very nicely done, beautiful, even. But this is my point, the whole bike looks good as a "piece" and I'm sure that's what was intended, but mechanically what's it like? It looks like it'd be more functional as some sort of installation in a rich dude's minimalist home.

Otherwise known as the "beer tap" looks cool because it's supposed to, but really is just a valve for flowing beer.
 
If you take everything off and bolt the motor and pipes to a wellhead that pumps water to people drinking stagnant staff infected dirt road pools in Haiti... It's Gloriously Beautiful
