 I don't particularly like the flagpole sticking out from behind the tank like that! Otherwise I love the simplicity of the hose clamps on the pipes!!
Live to love, love to live.

One of the most beautiful motors ever, those Pans! I like the simplicity of this machine.
(...though I've never particularly cared for those coffin style gas tanks or Z-bars...and tryin' to slow down a 5-600 pound motorcycle without a front brake is never much fun either)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Hate the coffin tank. Also not terribly impressed with the pipes. I don't mind that they're wrapped, but he could have shown a little more imagination with the design.
Love the engine, though.

I don't like it, it has all the ugliest elements (IMO) of that era of customized bikes
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Yeah nice bike but I cannot stand the tank, and the seat mounting looks a little suspect as well

I agree, I never liked those tanks and have a few laying around I have taken off bikes I have gotten over the years. I also have several sets of those Z bars..same reason. I like the pans but I like the knuckle better.
