Holy shit. I cant tell which part of this bike I hate the most.... Toss up between the rear shocks, rear sets, pulley cover, intake, handle bars, and lest we forget the god awful paint scheme.

He should have bought a sportster and saved himself some effort.

I saw the engine mount empty space also. What about the sportster headlight... thats nice. It makes me want to "Call Richard at 847.four32.five444 with any questions. $4900.00 OBO."

Yeah I got a few questions.

1. what were you thinking?
2. $4900??? REALLY???
3. Did you loose a drinking bet and your farmer friend made you do this to your bike?

There's an ass for every seat.

That's not so bad - I stumbled onto a f'n Ducati homebuilt chopper this morning - some things cannot be unseen...

Oooops

"Big fan of John Deere".

Well . . yeah . . . we all are. Not so much bastardized "lawn cycles".

Thank you . . Mr. Owner . . . for reminding us "it's a Harley engine".

Those were dark days.

looks like he trimmed off the airbox mounts from the motor mount - not a big deal, I've done the same to my bike.

That air filter..... how much air is getting in that thing? Holy smokes

Not my style, but whatever floats your boat.....or tractor

I thought we were talking about the frame "V" loop in front that holds another tiebar.

Normally I'm a fan of 'personlization' but this does stretch it...

Is the front fender look like it's been trimmed as in narrowed just a tiny bit? Looks different from mine, or maybe mine's on backwards.

I kinda like it, once the first impulse to recoil passes. It took commitment to his vision, have to give him that.

It's charmingly quite ugly, and I quite like it.

How many times has a Buell power curve been described as "pulls like a tractor?"

Now we have photo proof!

Ironically, he removed the most tractor-like component on the entire stock motorcycle: the muffler.
