Well, it's not some cobbled together chopper.

Alot of time and labor went into creating this bike.

Its a poor mans Wraith.

Yeah, that took some serious design and engineering to make it happen. I'm not a fan of most choppers but--as already posted--it's in the same theme as the Confederates which I happen to like.

It needs round chrome pushrod tubes.I've always hated those black plastic things they put on the XB's.Which brings up another point,at least he didn't do that to a tuber.

The style is not my taste, but the execution is well above average,

If a road worthy XB was not destroyed I give it a +2 Nice Job....

I thought that it having a sprung rear wheel, and hiding the shock in the frame was quite novel..
The bars seem a bit low.
I hope that he gets asking price...

To me it looks like an answer to a question that was never asked...........total fail.

Just another moron that took a perfectly nice scooter and thought he improved it.

Reserve is over 15K,........ another dreamer.

Many dollars and hours wasted. I can appreciate the fabrication but when all is said and done, it it just unique, not pretty, & certainly not able to handle like the donor bike. Just creative de evolution

Cafe racer? I was sort of ok with it until the last picture of him sitting ON it. That just looked stupid to me. I'm a bit put off by the 'Look at Me-Style for Style's sake'. But if that's someone's $15K style,that's OK with me. I would go up and looked at it if it was parked, but not if he was on it or by it.
