Radial spoking, heavy hubs as well.
Guess he wasn't sure if he was going to build a chopper later?

Even though that bike is not practical at all, I think it looks pretty cool. Definitely a bar hopper, not a canyon carver.

Must be a taste thing, they would be closer to the abomination thread than to the inspiration thread for me, I appreciate the work but to me they are both ugly bikes.

I saw that Duc in person, the exhaust pipe on the front cylinder is literally 50 or so small pieces welded together, albeit they were nice welds but with each piece only 1/2"-1" long, I walked away from the bike shaking my head asking "why?"

Found this 74 GT750 in a friend of mine's dad's garage.   "Garage find"   My buddy Bryan Fuller pried it out of his hands with some cash and did
a tasteful resto-mod to it.    It sounds absolutely wicked.   

Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.

my opinions of bryan fuller are always changing ...his attention to detail is fantastic , and most of his builds (cars too) i would do some serious dirty deeds to own....but whenever he gets in front of a camera ..he makes me wanna slap him in the back of the head.   
  i'm sure a lot of that is T.V. editing..but.     ...for me, it's harder to respect someones work when you know they are kind of a primadonna 
             just my two cents
