 I like the paint, not to sure about the bars, rear fender, or sissy bar.

That's a bit of an odd combination of bits. Not sure the sissy bar goes with the pillion rack and seat rail. Nice paint from what I can tell in that small of a photo.

Paint looks great, but yeah, not sure that sissy bar goes with the bobber thing. And the ducktail rear fender doesn't really fit with the big apes in my book anyway. I like how he painted the peg hangers, but why have peg hangers with no rear seat? Or a sissy bar for that matter? Nice paint tho

Case had Bruiser up for sale last year. From the looks of his website things seem to be going well for his seat/leather business.

Apes look all wrong, as does the chrome rock on the fender, much less why a sissy bar when no one can sit there and lean back on it ( much less, I dont like it ). I do like the rear fender, maybe not with the way it is executed on this particular bike, but that could be a nice look that is different than others. The paint is okay.

Have to agree with the general consensus, he's gone too far in too many different directions instead of picking a central theme. Anyone Notice the bobtail on it? Doesn't look like a standard rear that's been bobbed, appears to flick up at the end more like a HD softtail's rear. Wouldn't mind some better pics of it from some different angles.
