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.

IMHO butt ugly.
I will give the man props for originality tho. Not enough of that around.

Hmmm. fwd controls on a sporty? So strange!
