Not installed yet, just like the chain. It isn't a completed bike in that photo.

I like it...

Ive been on the verge of deciding if i want to do a chain swap on my bike. Really the only reason would be to "look" different. How immature of me. Hmph.=\

The outline on the top of that bike looks like a chart mapping the Dow Jones average. A liitle too choppy for me. I am not sure I am digging the spokes wheel. I would think that belongs more on a classic looking bike. All in all it kinda looks like HD chromed out version of somebody who mixed up a bunch of Ural and KTM parts.

Oh yeah, I don't think the oil tank is installed either at this point. It's probably somewhere on a workbench with the brake lines and chain

I agree Koz. thats a good way to put it. Assembling a bike with HD and KTM parts. However, mix the ideas around a bit and it would be a killer bike. Say, put some R1 style slim spoke rims on that bike would make it look great.... But those spoke rims belong on this bike for sure.

if you took that point out of the top of the fuel tank and smoothed it just a bit, it would have a nice line. id ride it. im not a spoke guy, but if you had one for the front that would work with the brake setup id dig it.

I like the look, but am not a fan of mix and match wheel combos.

I'm with Ft_bstrd. I hope the wheels are just mocked up. Otherwise, I love it.

The pic is kinda small, but it looks like the fuel tank is larger than a Manta, (the top of mine is level with the ground, and not as tall). Perhaps the oil tank, if not still on the bench with the chain, may be in the fuel tank.

It's going to be interesting to see where the chain drive routes.

If your saying you have the same swingarm ,that wheel will fit in the stock swingarm . but chain will be a bitch to line up , setting up a brake will suck by the way it will have to look like that as far as fender .it can be done but why?

I just like how it brings choppers and sport bikes even close together.
