not my cuppa,
but IMHO it would look better with one of those all metal seatpan-type seats and black apes and headlight.
the chrome makes it too cartoonish, like one of those OCC chopper bicycles from wal-mart..
i've never ridden with apes, so i can't comment on handling.

Someone should belt him in the head for doing that to a perfectly good bike.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

If you wanted to use that I wouldn't stop you.
