Honestly, I think it's pretty ugly... but if the owner likes to ride it, then it's a great bike.

Man, could you feel the pain of putting your butt down on a chrome seat exposed all day to the hot Texas sun. Not to mention what that amount of heat would do to the family jewels. I'd never father another kid again.:yikes

Too untraditional! Fenders and tank need paint! However, I would be more than happy to park it in my garage!

I bet that guy moonlights as one of those panhandlers like they have in downtown Honolulu, that dress up in all silver with the silver painted skin, etc. That's how he pays for his chrome addiction. Its a disease, you know...

bloody awful in my opinion ....it needs a contrast to set off the chrome - I hope he used a good chromer and he enjoys polishing other wise the rust spots will give it an unusual look :not

Not my cup of tea. But I guess you don't have to worry about finding that bike at a rally :flasher

That's too much- even by MY standards! Nice as a showbike though...

It needs chromewall tires. Any true chromosexual will tell you that.

There is a point at which too much is just, well, too much... tacky.

I spend summers in the Florida Keys. Aside from blinding myself, imagine those poor schmucks coming the other way seeing that blinding mirage! A bit too much methinks.

Although Mine seems to be a somewhat minority opinion, I think it's way sick. Gives it a sort of "RoboSportster" look. Other than that, this is obviously a guy who likes to polish his bike :) I've seen LOTS of bike owners who qualify for charter membership in the more money than brains club . :tour :wonderlan

There's a guy out there that did his bike all in Copper plate.....I seen it on one of my web sites....I'll post a pic If I can find it. The same Copper bike was for sale on E'bay a year later.....sold I think. All that chrome is too much of a good thing I think....but to each his own.

Yep...that's the one. I know it was for sale on E'bay, but not sure if it sold. Actually its kinda cool, cause theirs a nice contrast between the copper plated tank and fenders and the rest of the bike. Not my taste thou....

Actually, I like the polished brass look along with the chrome myself.

Much mo better >>

Tank decals kinda sucks though ...

I personally think I could make that bike look a hell of alot better with very little work.

I'd hate to polish either one lol! I saw one years ago that looked like it was built completely of brushed aluminum. The owner had only sent pics to the mag it was in ,no info. They liked it so much they printed the pics anyway.It was sharp. That chrome bike might not be too bad with some flame designs molded into the tank and fenders and plated with a gold or brass to contrast the chrome.
