Darhawk 2nd December 2004, 05:29 No doubt about it..........that is a first class ride. I wonder how much $$$$$ went into making that sweet baby........:dancesmil
Broncodog 2nd December 2004, 05:44 Now thats a chrome job :wonderlan but he forgot the seat :D
Moved On 2nd December 2004, 05:49 Honestly, I think it's pretty ugly... but if the owner likes to ride it, then it's a great bike.

Darhawk 2nd December 2004, 05:51 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

Fried eggs and bacon :smoke
collinsb 2nd December 2004, 07:02 Too untraditional! Fenders and tank need paint! However, I would be more than happy to park it in my garage!

MisterB 2nd December 2004, 07:04 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...
sportymark 2nd December 2004, 10:20 Probably lives to clean it!
gordy 2nd December 2004, 10:59 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
willprevale 2nd December 2004, 11:17 where's my sunglasses?
missyd 2nd December 2004, 12:30 Ugly as hell! I never understand how people can do such a thing to a nice and lovely Sporty .... ;)
FastFwd 2nd December 2004, 13:03 Ewwwwwwww.... Not for me... Park it in a hall of mirrors and you could lose it!
twinsporty 2nd December 2004, 13:32 Not my cup of tea. But I guess you don't have to worry about finding that bike at a rally :flasher
hero 2nd December 2004, 16:09 That's too much- even by MY standards! Nice as a showbike though...
sportsterrific 2nd December 2004, 16:36 It needs chromewall tires. Any true chromosexual will tell you that.
pilot 3rd December 2004, 21:50 There is a point at which too much is just, well, too much... tacky.
xena 5th December 2004, 06:15 eeeww is all I can say.
txsporty 5th December 2004, 06:37 Nada!!! :D
bud095 14th December 2004, 02:16 i like chrome, but thats a bit overboard!
bud095 14th December 2004, 02:17 :yikes i like chrome, but thats a bit overboard!
Shark Doctor 14th December 2004, 02:34 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.
maddog 14th December 2004, 02:34 He missed the chrome bezel on the speedo and the chrome buttons on the handlebar controls...SHEEESH!!! what an amateur.
chuckp 14th December 2004, 17:06 One question: Why? :frownthre
Ole 14th December 2004, 18:18 Does this belong to the late Sherrif Beauford T. Justice?
Desertfox 24th December 2004, 15:43 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
paris15 24th December 2004, 17:31 What? Doesn't Kuryakin make a seat for it?
HrdlyDangrs 24th December 2004, 17:41 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.

dabronco 25th December 2004, 05:11 or try this>
HrdlyDangrs 27th December 2004, 00:10 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....
Turbota 27th December 2004, 00:45 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.
Mountainrun 1st January 2005, 06:04 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.
