Looks like the back end needs to come up a few inches to get rake to a more suitable level for cornering...not sure where that would leave you in terms of trail. That v twin won't have the lungs to breath at the upper end like a proper cafe bike should.

Can't disagree with you, but sometimes what you like is irrational. I like the look of this bike and I think the riding position suits me. I just don't like the traditional cruiser riding position. I took a beach cruiser bike with the big, wide bars and put low rise bars for the same reason. It is still a slow, docile handling bike with crappy braking and just one gear, but the slightly tucked riding position makes it feel faster. Probably not the safest thing to ride quickly with just a rear coaster brake...but danger us my middle name, at least it is in the picture shows.
