Looks kinda goofy. Reminds me of the Alligator.

That looks extremely uncomfortable to ride...ugly too.
The exhaust tips look kind of tough and the beefy sissy bar is kind of cool too but...no.

I'd like to ride that La-Z-Boy before passing judgement.

The rear of the tank/frame backbone area looks unfinished (could just be the pics) and add small leather courier bag on the right...

It seems the guys building these drop-seat chops are trying to achieve an unnatural/uncomfortable riding position. It looks like he retained the OIF feature, don't see that much (in a chopper).

That is, categorically the most tasteless aberration I have ever seen ......a disgrace in fact.

Ugly as sin.
