Looks like it would make a decent hillclimber.

Just fit a paddlewheel rear tire and a bigger rear sprocket.

But as a streetbike, it leaves much to be desired.

In about ten years we'll be buying back the chops for cheap parts to recondition our classics.

LOL, I bet that shock lasts longer than any of ours and he probably spent less on it and the frame than buying one penske.

Thats a positive way to look at it!


Usually you just see the front end, wheels, and engine/trans swapped into a chopper frame. They don't look bad when you do this... it just sucks that we lost another buell to a chopper (yawn). But that guy tried to do something different and it looks TERRIBLE!

Once again, sorry for your loss... and I'm sorry you had to see that.

Actually, I've seen that bike in person (if it's the one I'm thinking of - located in MD?) and the craftsmanship is *very* good. Doesn't change the fact that a low-mile M2 was sacrificed for it...but it is a nice bike. Kid who built it can't be a day over 22, either (either that, or he's gonna get carded for life because he just looks like a kid).

OPINIONS ARE LIKE A$$HOLES, EVERYBODY HAS ONE. SOME JUST STINK WORSE THAT OTHERS.

this thing's just plain butt-ugly!

evidently the creator does not think that, or wait maybe he thought, "LETS BUILD A BUTT UGLY FREAKIN BIKE TO PISS OFF THOSE OVER OPINIONATED BUELL FREAKS."

Change out the tank and exhaust and i think it would look really damn good.

It wasnt any of yalls bikes he chopped up so why get pissy about it. Sure there arnt many tubers out there, but this just means yours will be worth more later on.

To each his own.

Making positive comments about a Buell ChopJob on the BadWeb would be like me telling the Ole lady she's got a Fat Ass.






BTW I like the hill climber idea.

Just my opinion......I know it's not my bike, and a guy can do what he wants to his own machine, but jeez-a-loo, that is one Most Heinous creation. The only satisfaction I get out of seeing these knobs hack up a beautiful thing like an M2 is that our beloved tubers will only increase in value as time marches on. To say someone like that doesn't get it is understating the obvious.
