The paint job is best viewed through some sort of haze I think. ;)

I kinda like the paint.  You can check out more pics of the bike at:

 You think that oil tank neck would foul your leg a little? I have to say that the attention to detail is second to none.

I've seen that one before and I agree with fuzzy.  I like the stance of the bike, looks like its ready to pounce, but the paint is a nightmare.  I would take it thought.................Chris

As a show bike I'd say it would go over big, 8) 8)  but as far as a rider, the seat and struts would kill it for me. :P :P Not my style with the paint and to much chrome :-\ :-\ . Have to give him credit for good work and a lot of effort tho. :) :) :)

Mines nowhere near as good as his, but his basic style is my taste, but with rear shocks. I could probably live with the seat if I had to, but I would have put the money for the chrome into the engine.

Ran across this one recently while doing a search



Kimtab wheels.  Remember those, you old timers?  Designed by Dave Kimball, produced by Tabloc.  An accessory item out of PA if I recall, later stock equipment on the Rokon (remember that?).  I had a set.  Bought from John Palfreyman in Santa Monica.  Later sold for a pittance when hard up.  Natural rubber grips too.  Wish I knew where to get those today.  Weber or Solex carbs.  Hurst/Airheart brake calipers.  Struts are not much fun though.

Really nicely done. The seat would be a bit firm for my old butt, but it is nice.

I like the way the lettering "garage company" was incorporated into the wild paint job on the gas tank. I didn't notice that the first time ::)   (click on pic to enlarge)

Interesting, never noticed it either. Not my cup, but someone did put some time and talent into the whole thing.
