I hope not. It's got the old-school chopper seat look to it. Is it just me or does that fender or license plate holder look like a bird perched on the rear tire? |

I've seen a couple of those, mostly in Europe. Talk about minimalistic! Man, don't fall off the seat! |

Is it just me or does it slightly resemble a buffalo? |

Why bother with the chin fairing? Definately not for me. |

Like it or not. Lots of thought went in and executed well. |

I like it! Got any pics of you on it. I would like to see how it looks with a rider. |

I dig it. Maybe a bit too extreme for my taste, but I like getting rid of the back end like that. Reminds me of a Confederate Hellcat. |

somebody wanted the new Confederate but didnt have the scratch for it . Not my style at all, but I would still run it down the road for a test ride |

I like the concept and think it would even better if just the seat looked like and extended fender. Kinda like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/81409801@N00/422126567/ (Message edited by fl_a1a on July 02, 2007) Repaired broken hyperlink. (Message edited by blake on July 04, 2007) |

From a functional standpoint, he lightened the bike significantly. I wonder where he put the battery, ECM, and stuff that normally mounts in the tail section? |

I was wondering where he relocated everything too! Wouldn't want to get caught in the rain with this one. Chad |

WOW that's.... unusual. I REALLY wonder where all the electronics went! Heck, where's the BATTERY?! Kudos on the technical aspects anyway. I dig the digital speedo bar clamp... wonder where ya get one of those? ~SM |

Great point about the battery and electrical components. I wonder if he hid them in the airbox and/or under that cover around the shock? |

Dana, Do you have a photo of the headlight treatment? Interesting looking bike, that's for sure. |

I really like it. I would probably opt for a slightly bigger saddle, but I think the execution is excellent! Get it ripped down to the point it really is just two wheels and an engine. |

if the saddle were a bit larger, like big enough for my ass to fit on it would be nice!!! then a small rear fender thingy....it would look wicked. always liked the confederate look. |

Another unique effort by PM Performance! Check out their XB Shorty too: http://www.pm-performance.ch/ Cool - thought about doing a Beemer oilhead this way, including authentic Pagusa/Denfeld seat. The handlebar clamp with inset Motoscope instrumentation is clean! |

By the way... I've seen license plate brackets like that before. Are they all custom jobs or do some aftermarket places sell them? I think they look cool with the chopped Lightning tail. |

I like the looks of the bikes with the chopped seats. I wonder how they'd look with clip ons. That would be really bad ass. |
