So much work went into that thing. I have pretty diverse taste, and usually I can appreciate something even if it' not my taste, but I just can't see any appeal in that.

It's too much. I mean, some of that would be okay. Maybe some of the green, the seat, stuff like that. All of it together? WAYYYY too busy.

No artistic sense.

Im with Desert, too much going on. A bit overwhelming, very busy.

Surprised they used the stock swingarm, I think thats the first buell chopper build I've seen use the stock arm

That would make the drivetrain portion of the build MUCH simpler- he used the final drive and all.

There's a lot of interesting things on that bike, and a few that make me think he has no clue what he's doing...like the rear caliper mount and hose routing:

That was my first reaction too.

But the more I look at it, I realize, hideous isn't strong enough! I can only marvel that someone had the tenacity to actually build it. At so many points, he could have said, "na...", but he did it anyway. I admire that much at least.
