All due respect... fuck this bike. It’s such a posery POS. Bad fit and finish. Horrible color for a cafe racer. The damn ugly logo. This guy obviously is way more into “bar crawling” than “bike building”. Fuck everything about this POS!

As a motorcycle it’s worthless, as a collection of parts to resell ... probably worth about 2k ... you nailed it, in other words.

the back wheel is cool. But NOoo.oo.oo.oo wayy.yy.yy.yy.yyy. Crack pipe allllll DAyyyyyyyyy.

Actually, everything that’s been done to it makes it worse. It’s the worst of all worlds - all the impracticality of a stripped down cafe racer (seriously, no fenders, how is that even a thing?), combined with all the backwardness and primitive BS or a Harley, but the entry-level Harley (so you don’t even get all that

I like the way it looks, TBH, but there’s just too much sketchiness around the lack of instruments and the straight pipes.

With used Sportsters of much more recent vintage going for $3k, I have to agree. I knew the second I clicked it was crack pipe, just took some searching to see just how much crack was in the pipe. 

This is the right take. Its a 32 year old Sportster with straight pipes. Straight pipes make any bike an instant CP, but a Sportster sounds like pure crap without a proper exhaust. And, the statement of “Truly unique and a great bar crawler” fits just about every stereotype of the drunken Sunday HD rider around here. 

Even at $2000 this is total CP. This is someone else’s half-assed project. The damn thing doesn’t even have gauges.

I once lived next to an old fat school bus driver with a long white beard whom we lovingly named Biker Santa Claus who would every Sunday toke up a little bit, go to his garage in the apartment complex, pull out his Harley, and rev the engine for a few minutes just loud enough to shake the windows a little. I never

didn’t read, just crack

Whaaa? But, but, it’d be a great bar crawler. You know, nothing like pounding back a few beers from bar to bar while riding a motorcycle. Isn’t that worth full asking price?

Are you high? Those orange grips must be worth $2k alone!

Exactly. Everything is worth something - and this is worth a LOT less than half of its asking...

In heaven, the electronics are Japanese, the suspension is German, the bodywork Italian, the interior French, and it’s sold at American prices.

Your math works for Martinis too.

I, too, get mad when I pour my passion and soul into something and then someone comes along and makes my work look like the cheap Korean knock off version.

If you buy a wand, I made a bunch of cherry wood wand stands at a local woodworking shop that I’m selling. I made 1 for my wife as a Valentine’s Day present and then just made a bunch more because I had the wood. Send me a message and I’m happy to mail them
