Unique? Put bright orange rearsets on it or something, anything but those lights and the gills - looks like a shark that got the crap kicked out of it

Blech!! Those headlights distract from everything that might be considered attractive on that bike.

zed · 05-11-2009, 03:51 PM

the gills in the side fairings too

Homeslice · 05-11-2009, 04:16 PM

The gills look awesome, imo.......I wish they were on both sides

is that their idea of a rat rod? you know grab whatever parts you have laying around and put it all together. different headlights just adds to the rat look right?
without the lights and the "shark gills" on the side it would look decent. Lots of angles though. Although that seems to be the norm now days.

Ok I have to cop to riding a bike for how it rides not how it looks. I would love to know the price point this going to come in a,t and what it looks like on a independent dyno.

The green is not pretty in my eyes but All I need to look at is the dash and over the windscreen

id give it a year or so. Im betting they move so slowly that they do a redesign and start kicking them over cheep

I'm not concerned about the looks...I'd be more interested in the performance too.

Looking at the head on picture if you could put the small semi-round headlight on both sides it'd look like it's giving you a "Eat Shit" look.

I definitely thought of that too. Got it one piece at a time...........That could explain the gills on only one side as well as the headlight thing.
LOL
