What a complete pile!

 No way it runs as good as it should with those $5 alphamoto pods on 2 into 1 intakes.

Cilpons with no rearsets, ouch!

4 into 1 with no baffle, must be a race bike!

The seat is for a moped, maybe?

What happened to the brake light? oh there it is, under the seat so we can see it.

No fenders at all! Love that skunk stripe! Who needs handling when you're THIS cool?

NO BRACING whatsoever at the rear of the frame!

Cut the gussets and left them just like that! Holy twisted shock mounts batman!

Old tires on an $8000 CB? No Thanks!

$80 shocks on an $8000 CB? No thanks!

Look at the cable routing! He even ordered the brake line and it's 5 inches too long!

"New Gold chain and sprocket"...yep. That says it all right there.

Ridiculous claims throughout the ad. Which part made it safer? the ebay chain, the lack of fenders, the unnatural riding position, the tiny seat that allows you to get caught between it and the tire, the old tires, the cheap shocks, the barely visible brake light, or the weakened frame?

That bike is everything that is wrong with the custom bike scene today.

HA! Others may not agree.  :D

I don't mind if someone gets pleasure from criticizing anything, because I mostly don't mind anything anyone does. However for me personally it's not so much about tearing anyone down, but STOPPING this god awful trend of hacking all the good old Japanese bikes to death, especially just to come up with something as atrocious as that piece of garbage.

It's never anything personal with the builder. Smart people do stupid things sometimes.

If we keep being nice about these basic common mistakes, sooner or later there wont be any good ones left.
