You gotta make it yourself if you want them to be custom like this. Or buy this one.

As thought out as this bike is, I think there must be a place by the battery where you store the rock.

Yep, all those chopper frames were designed for Harleys with seperate gearboxes, so you'll have heaps of room behind your SOHC4 engine for a car battery, and a parking rock. Awesome. ;D

No brakes, no points cover, a jubilee clip holding something at the rear of the frame, a ribbon holding the battery, two big pointy things to poke out your eyes, no stands and it's listed as a 750.
Is that an airbox? Where's the front brake cable going?

It's obviously supercharged, I can see the pressure manifold.

Looking at the rest of the setup I would take a horribly wild guess it is a pressure manifold without a supercharger.

No, just the chain. That is for keeping your boat from drifting out with the tide.

Is the driver a human being?

I doubt.

That must be driving something out-of-space with ams two times longer than the legs.

I would ditch the rock and just lay it on it's side and hope fuel would spill out and catch fire, blowing it and myself up saving the world from me and anything else I might contribute to society. :-[

I bought a cl-450 that looked similar because I felt sorry for it and it ran okay, and I had most  parts to de-modify it.
