Avons and aluminum wheels would have helped this bike not look so useless.

...alright, I'll bite. I like it. I would love to know where he got the spokes to lace up that rear harley rim on the front. I'm a sucker for fat front tires. The blue / purple is way too much. I would have off set it with some other colour. Again, I like it. A lot. Just too much blue.

you guys know lucky has to be pulling your chains, right?  I haven't read a post yet where he wouldn't outright call the poster a moron for putting anything on his bike that is on that one.

DOHCs are wet sump, no oil tank. A gel battery would go easily under the seat.

The inspiration here is the build based on for me the boring DOHC CB750. Often found for less money than the older SOHC.
