Is that a right hand jockey shift? The different colored hand grips are distracting; it has some nice design points (although it took me a minute to figure out what the tool bags was). The bicycle foot peg is kinda wierd...
Sometimes when I see different things grouped like this it reminds me, just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Throw away that suspected and purposeless jockey shift and you'd have one sweet piece of work

I was wondering how long that chain guard would last with all those lightening holes! Mine broke off at the mount with NO holes drilled...
I like it. My '66 chopper will sport a similar paint job.

Overall, its pretty darn good. If it was mine (and it's not) I would have done c ouple things different, like the parental advisory and As Seen on TV stickers, the yellow wires, different colored grips.

That's the kind of bike I'm used to seeing. No droopy pipes, a real rear mudguard instead of a section of a beer keg, no excess junk tacked on. I like it.

That's very clean, but I guess you can't make a modern bike quite so bare. Quote:

Gives the impression that somebody spent a lot of money to take a new bike and put one together that looks like it was done on a shoestring budget, but wasn't. Personally, I like it. Are there things I would change? Of course. That is what makes each of these machines our own. Well done job IMO. Me likey. I go like the way the rear brake was done. Nice wiring. I might have done the front end a bit differently but then that is what it's all about, right?
Ride On!

Yeah.
Even in facory trim, they just aren't as fine-boned.
I kinda think the wet sump is responsible for a lot of that.
Maybe the trend actually started with the OIF models.
