Looks nice, but why screw up a perfectly good CBX like that?

Probably for the same reason we make cafe bikes, and bobbers out of perfectly good SOHC bikes.

Eh.

I can surely appreciate the craftsmanship and all that, but the droopy-nose-stinkbug-rear stance just doesn't do anything for me...

Ah projectors are fine, it is the shell that stinks. Make it shorter and maybe wider to cover the trees.

Looks more like a CBX engine in a custom build. Maybe saved a good engine from the scrape yard? I buddy of mine picked up two CBXs this summer. One has only 900 & some miles! Friggin nice bike.
