WTF!

I don't know if it's the case here but sometimes when shady ebay company has a lot of things like this that are being sold by others too they will jack up the price really high for a week just so that when they drop it down to say $60 the average price ebay quotes is around $80 so it looks like a deal... click on the "6 sold" link and you'll see they were sold for 59.95 - this could also be a typo as it 359.95 - or at least that's what the poster will claim if called out by ebay on it..

It's clearly what this seller is doing - see this other listing by the same seller - http://www.ebay.com/itm/British-Triumph-650-750-Bonneville-Tiger-Tigress-Logo-Kickstart-Starter-Rubber-/190735457570?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c68b81d22

$507 for a kickstart rubber? - 10 sold - well those 10 got it for $8.

That bike is just all kinds of ugly! I can't imagine what his "award winner" that he built looks like.

I dunno, I really dig it. It's looks like a lot of fun and has very unique lines

EDIT: in retrospect, that riding position looks like you'de have to have a 40 inch inseam to be comfortable

I have a friend who digs Obese chicks. Same kind of thing...Looks good to you. The frame is compromised, the details sloppy. I can see why you like it...

Adds rigidity depending on the location. One less cross member.

for the seat,weight of rider and passenger on said seat, that is all, not doing anything to take suspension loads in any way whatsoever,there is a crossmember just ahead of the top shock mounts,that is all that is needed to stabalize the rear section(and it does nothing for suspension loads either)
so with a solo seat anything behind the top shock mounts is totally not needed no compromise in strength
this is a widely accepted myth that a rear frame loop creates some magic structural strength that is needed for suspendsion loads, total bullshit
