That isn't imagination at all. It should be illegal.

With the parallel pushrods, it looks like a XL engine in a softail frame with the Buell bits on it.

Good luck getting that price for it.

IMHO, It's a double edged sword when people cut up perfectly good Buells just to put a "better than a sportster" engine in their "custom" bikes.
It's nearly blasphemy because some of those folks do stupid things like: cutting those "ugly blue headers" just to save a few minutes of disassembly time, and even worse things like s--t canning parts they don't know anything about, like rear isolators, etc.
On the other side of this is that it can put some good parts out on ebay and such for those who know what they are.
I was lucky enough to receive all the remnants from a redneck chopper conversion once for free, although the blue headers were destroyed

HD destroys Buell.

HD owners destroy Buells.

There's a pattern here somewhere.

Another one bites the dust.

Does the value of an S1 go up every time one is taken out of action and gets chopped?

says 98 S1 and has white buell wheels and black T-storm heads...
All indications that he stripped a 98 S1W "white Lightning" to make that hideous bike.

A bad one at that..
