Interesting custom
« on: July 29, 2016, 11:57:15 PM »
I'm not sold on the whole package but the builders clever rear fender mount ( hung off the swing arm) is worth noting

Is that a whisky flask strapped under the seat?

i would say  so....looks like he ran out of ideas and just tacked it on...i for one think the bike has no flow and is kinda chunky looking ..the build quality looks great though..

 One man's vision , and yes the build quality looks great . The back end looks strange , out of proportion , and the added un-sprung weight would be an issue . I do like the color and all of the polished aluminum .

I find it interesting that with all that work minimizing the bike, he left the LAPD sidestand mount on without the stand itself.

On a related note, there is a MilleGT in Miami being sold piecemeal on eaby by a customizer creating a cafe bike.

agree out of proportion. It's the seat.... the empty space behind it. It cannot decided if it is a bobber or a cafe with a 1/2 standard seat.
 Otherwise not so bad.

Yes , which is why he can't mount a longer seat .

He could have hinged the seat Dusty.   :grin:
