I dig on these machines. V-twin 45° with a good riding position. Toss on some sweet legendary sheet metal and she's a looker too.

although some wire spoke wheels with akronts or borrani's and barnes hubs would really wake it up
If you think you can improve on those looks there is something wrong with youDuchat said:

A little bit of good... a little bit of bad. Not $4 grand, at least not from me.

Velocity stacks: Bad (for a street bike)
No fork brace: Bad
Short Exhaust: Bad
Fat tires on skinny rims: Bad
No front fender: Bad
$4000: Good - Raises the value of my bike 8)
The ad doesn't even mention if it runs well....
I don't dislike customized bikes, despite my posts often criticizing them. I just dislike poorly done bikes from a functional sense. If your mods downgrade performance from stock, especially if done only for looks, then I think they ruin the bikes purpose of riding.
Despite there being so many poorly done bikes, there are some well done bikes that not only look good, but function better than stock....Unfortunately, this is not a good example of increased functionality along with beauty. From my perspective, the bike does not look all that great either....It's unoriginal, and the craftsmanship looks shoddy. We have many people on this site that at least make a better looking bike than that.
So, crappy looks, crappy functionality, a FAIL in my opinion.
All long redundant and obnoxious explanations aside; I like the tank, ignition, rims and possibly the engine. If the carbs are rebuilt I could send them to PJ to be jetted then add the appropriate filters. No, not $4K but then I'm repeating myself. So yeah, a little bit of good...
