That' called lucrative business. Right or Wrong, Like it or Not, if they are making it work they are running a successful business. (well that is if they are actually getting orders)

That's what I mean. If I could build bikes all day with pods and cosmetic work and turn a profit like that, ya'll could talk all the crap you wanted while I was making bank.
Just like all the people buying the "patina" hot rods for big bucks. The other hot rod guys are mad cuz they just spent 10k to paint their car like an easter egg, and the faded paint next to it is getting more attention.
Its whats "in" right now, and people are cashing in on it.

ok this is not mc but it involves rubber
on one of my secret ebay searches i saw the sellers name was "chickenrubber"
so i emailed 'em in my best broken english and asked \
please sir where to rub the chicken ? is best ? you rub chicken ankle? or rubbing the flipper ?
That's a fine way to learn more than you ever wanted to know. Trust me, XB, being a smartass will make things dangerously interesting in time.
So while looking for inspiration for a new build somebody in OK just commissioned, I stumbled upon this and thought everybody should have a turn at laughing over this sad git.
I'd say pay attention to the seat height. You can cheat a bit with more foam/height. Just as us short guys cheat by taking more foam away... It's amazing what an inch in seat height will do.
Don't judge me.. But I like the Roadglide with Streetglide seat so about 26.5 in the saddle on boards with highways set low maybe 3-4" up from the end of radius... 28psi in the shocks 40psi 2 up.

Look around for a solid used corbin with the hump back just a tad or pull the foam out and trim the hump back 2-2 1/2" I know those had crash bars available... they look hideous but getting those legs out on long rides is more important.
That GS will be the shit with some massaging, decent power and no worries in the wind all day.
PS.. progressive shocks will be a must, and the front end will need em also but let him ride it mushy first
