Nice bike. Still agricultural, but more tractor pulling than ploughing. Cant deny it's better than original stock though!

I would like it although I'd prefer a well fettled 883.

If you're going to build something like that - why would you start with a Harley??????

I like it.

Does that make me a bad person? :smt017
I'm right 98% of the time so why worry about the other 3%?

I like the simplicity of it, it looks OK, but it's a Harley so it'll be shit.

I've got thicker tubes on my pushbike than that thing has for the swingarm. All show, no go.
