I hate to see an XB as a donor for a project bike, but WOW! | ||

Other than a pair of tight spoke wheels, I don't know that I would change anything. | ||

hmmm, wheels are odd to me, but dang thats hot! | ||

Hide Motorcycles, hmmm yes I'd hide it under a tarp, it looks awful to my eye. Though I can appreciate the work that went into it, it's not to my taste at all. | ||

 Doesn't suck too bad. At least the builder acknowledges Buell... paint and general aesthetic is nice. DON'T like the wheels. It's obvious they've just covered up stock, and that's just obvious turd. Seems like someone TRIED, and did OK. We've ALL seen worse... | ||

Where is the rear exhaust header? | ||

I can appreciate it too, but the reality is these bikes aren't built to ever be ridden. Worse though, they are an attempt in custom building world to show that something different is still possible. What's the point. Especially in this case when it looks more toy than real. Rocket in England | ||

I am with our European brethren on this one. | ||
| Hybridmomentspass |
may be on the other side...with the front brake? | ||
| Pwnzor |
I think there's a reason they only show one side of the bike. | ||

And you thought your right knee got hot before. I do like the tank and the color scheme but that's about it. The windscreen/fairing reminds me of the ironman suit that Tony Stark built in the cave during the first Iron Man movie and I don't mean that as a compliment. If they got rid of the fairing and put some wire spoke wheels on it, it would be pretty cool. | ||

what a waste of time and money on that hideous thing!!! I would set it on fire and watch it burn! (Message edited by preybird1 on December 06, 2013) | ||

those type of heat shields have been used for years, its probably not that big of a deal (heat at knee). | ||

From the photos on facebook, looks like the rear cylinder exhaust drops down in front of the swingarm. Can't see it well though. I like it. For a point to point bike, I looks great to me. | ||

Although I'm left uninspired, I do find it amusing some are bashing the looks, considering I've never heard anyone call an XB beautiful. | ||

Chain tensioner is neat. | ||

I'm a Function Is Form kinda guy, and Like Café bikes. The fairing, well, taste is taste. ( damning faint praise ) Mixed feeling about the headers, seat & tank are nice. The wheel covers inspire 2 thoughts. "Is that tupperwear?" and "WW1 Spad wheels? Hmm." I Really like the bike they did for Katee Sackhoff. Maybe having a 45 mph speed limit in Japan gives you a kind of freedom to build slow show bikes? I know there's been a few "ridable" versions of Kenada's bike from "Akira". | ||

Maybe having a 45 mph speed limit in Japan . . . Maybe my in-laws in Japan haven't heard about this. They all drive like, well, "asians". |
