Interesting. Needs some more stretch in the rear, imo. No top motor mount? The bar near the top looks to be lying against the lift, not on the bike.

I see that too Al. I don't think it's part of the bike but it's hard to tell.
Interesting placement of the oil cooler and I like how the frame works but the motor seems out of place?

Love this line:

We say we only work on Harleys but if the project is interesting enough we can be persuaded!

Yeah, they need to anchor the top of the engine.
Otherwise, I like the way it looks like they built the frame around the engine.
A custom using a parallel twin needs an entirely different frame design from a V-twin, more compact. They've done a nice job.
That girder is sweet.
