I like a few things on this bike.
Forks, side cover w/ exposed chain, over kill rear brake. And it looks like the fins were roughed up a bit.

the frame looks to be a modified Amen or it's homemade .....  i'm not sure what ... but something about that bike is saying  "CycleX" to me

     .....maybe the rear brake, but i can tell it's not their version .... the foot controls look like their style as well

I want to know more about what they did on that oil tank.

it's a cycleX bike, look at the link properties, it's an example of their way of jerry-rigging a richer mixture into the carbs.
