thanks for the link. i would have posted it but i have found over the last few months that if i post a link to either bikeexif or pipeburn the entire post mysteriously disappears not long thereafter. i figured it was the edict about not posting links so i am trying not to do so. not sure - but thanks for the link nonetheless.

  Meh, thousands of hours and dollars and zip ties on the intake screens? Not my cup of tea.

yeah, i kinda like it too. it seems tastefully done.  respect. the pic of the guy on the bike looks funny to me. he looks so large and the bike looks so small.  maybe if he had his feet back on some rearsets it would look more natural.

That's because they added too much seat height.  While the quality of the work and level of detail is excellent, it appears it was built more as a static piece of mechanical art than a functioning bike.  The rider body position looks like he's sitting on a bar stool and reaching down to tie his shoelaces.

Izzat foto-shopped? Did someone tear up a V350? It's a joke, I assume.  R3~
