That'd sure crackle along a bush trail.
Probably the most unique CB1100 custom I've seen.

Wonder if it would ever see a trail?

I agree that that's the most interesting part of the bike, because it's sad that they put so much effort into that insignificant bracket, and so little thought into everything else. A 500+ pound "scrambler" with no front fender or skid plate, and with 1100cc inhaling through a couple of crankcase breathers.

I hate to be so harsh, but I don't see anything that is an improvement on the bike in any way, functionally or aesthetically. So many of these custom builds are meant to appeal visually to non-riders, but insult knowledgeable motorcyclists. They have all the functionality of a porcelain hammer.
To be fair, they don't actually call it a scrambler. While I wouldn't want it, I do find it visually interesting.

The part that has me scratching my head is that with all of the effort that must have went into this, I can't imagine why they wouldn't have replaced the scratched left side cover that was clearly the result of a drop.
To me it is a waste of time and money .
Maybe it supposed to elicit a response from riders, like art does. Low or no function, but rather, [some sort of] form.
The only thing I need from this dirt is the engine, so I let it sit in my bedroom
Dark PB! Cool
