Those guys were loaded on Weed and acid (among other things) while makin that pic and even THEY were like "These hardtails are not meant to be ridden by any sane person" :laughing:

Weld a couple more tabs on there and you could probably fit a lot of metric cruiser engines. Its a nice cheap start, but yeah, not the nicest design in the world.

I'm not sure many custom bike builders get that 99% of them are doing the exact same thing as everybody else, flying under the banner of uniqueness, edginess, and independance.

Confederate Motorcycles, on the other hand, are actually moving cruiser bikes beyond 1950s styling and chassis technology:

So how many more customs do you see everyday than Suzukis?

As far as chandler goes I love thier blue balls bike. There looks to be something seriously wrong with the rear fender on that roller.
