Topic: so would this be hideous or not bad?

[CaféElite]

He he, I always laugh at Cafe guys who question the comfort levels of choppers, I can tell you first hand, that a chopper with a reasonably well padded seat like that one is still a helluva lot more comfy over long distances than a "Caferacer" with clip-ons or those half-assed "clubman" (Shudder) bars, footpegs in the OEM position, and a sheet of fibreglass (or wood, in some cases, urrggghhh) with a micro-thin layer of foam, for a seat. 

Just for the record I dont recall the level of confort of the bike in question being brought up and there are a few choppers I actually like. I personally just dont feel like the bike has a flow to it, its pretty much all over the place. The super high neck, dinky gas tank, super gap between engine\frame\tank is like a 400lb 55yr old women putting on a tank top, fishnet stockings, and a minny skirt w/ a ton of make-up then hitting up a college dance club... Again it could be the best ride in the world but that doesnt mean its worth it... well I just wouldnt show or tell my friends 

Again its just not my style but I would still cruise by its side.. just not on its saddle.

My only gripe would be the pipes.  Otherwise, I like the look.  The gap/etc. is made as small as possible as the rake is not extreme.  I'd ride it.

Yeah Mike, those pipes are crap, and they'd be gone if it was mine, but otherwise it's a pretty standard looking chop, and would be a nice addition to my motley collection of Kruisers and Race-replica's.

The good thing with having lotsa bikes is that you don't have to ride them every day, but a blast every now and then is good for the soul..............

Pipes and Paint gotta go, but it has some potential. That hard tail would chew up my back and probably rupture something, so gotta spring up the seat, and definitely a black paint job, with Cobalt pinstripes would look totally awesome. And shorty dragpipes with turnouts. But thats just my opinion.

Peace and Long Rides,

Jeff
