I like it, but the brace for the rear fender and the seat remind me of my old 20" Schwinn 
Women and cats will do as they please. Men and dogs should just get used to that fact and relax

I'll bet the ride's a bit harsh. Still, very trendy and I like the matching grips.

More and more of the America/Speed master Bonneville engines are being used in all sorts of ventures, just goes to show you it must be trusty and reliable. I think it looks really  man

Not bad, not bad at all. I like it except for the Schwinn fender bracket.

I love the front end but I wonder about the travel of it...
I do have two issues with it.
The exhaust from the left side looks like it is routed behind the motor to the right side which makes it much longer. Being longer, I wonder what that does to a balanced motor?
The 'oil bag' looks like it contains the air filtration? Hmmmm.
Overall, not a bad bike. I'd love to see some better and closer pics.

I like it, except that color is a bit bright to my eye. A dark green might be good. Flat Black or even Cardinal Red would be even better. Wonder what an oil cooler like that costs? - probably half a grand? If they were priced right, say, $100 (ha ha) I wouldn't mind adding a pair to the stock cooler. When we visited Marcus Dairy, a guy had two on his bike, but only had one plumbed in. The other was just along for the ride. Musta run outa tubing?

I have that downtube oil cooler that BP sells. My bike ran hot with it... I suppose it might work as a suppliment tho.

Love everything less the pipes. Whoever it was, did a very nice job. I'm not a fan of both pipes on one side.

Much better than typical V-twins that are becoming a dime a dozen. I'd have to have a front brake.

That's because I edited the link. Not really, I just said that to mess with your head.
