That's just lazy. I have a spare pair of fenders if anyone is considering this thing!

Yeah, there's some some nice looking stuff there, but that seat looks like it was an Ichiban Moto project.

I'm pretty sure I know who built this bike. He bought a rust bucket on ebay and restored it to what you see here.

I think it's cool. I would change the seat, though.

What is that, a piece of pipe for handle bars? Drag bars usually have some bend I them.

I've heard it called a "broomstick drag bar".
