Not just for me, but I have a few neighbors that really need to enjoy the sound of this thing. :evil:  I owned an iron head sportster briefly and it definitely left an impression on me. Sort of miss it somehow.

On my first response my intended response was, I still had rather ride the old goose when the opportunity arises.

Personally I think it's a POS with no redeemable features.

Bunch o' hand made stuff on that. The owner clearly belongs to the group "If you bought it in a store, it ain't custom."

This thing gives me the shivers. Maybe it's my aversion to HDs because their riders heavily trend towards (wannabee) outlaws or lawyers, which I hold in equal contempt. Or maybe it's that when I see the "Eff you, neighbour " straight pipes I'm reminded of why some people hate motorcyclists. Or maybe it's the yellow and red flames on black that scream " Lookit me, I'm a 1950's greaser."?

Anyway,  I hope Jake the Snake keeps his right pants leg in his sock, lest the open drive sprocket give his ankle a bone crushing twist.

Otherwise, besides the mismatched fenders and the crude front tank mounting brackets and the candy azz red grips and the back angled seat guaranteed to slide your butt back onto the fender every time you twist the throttle...well, uh...the flowers are nice.
