Custom HD 750

I suspect this is one of those love it or hate it type of bikes. Me? I love it (despite the apparent lack of symmetry). What do you guys think?

I wonder what it feels like to ride on tires like those. Anyone done something like that?

I like it! Seriously doubt I would fit it though. Needs fenders too.

Turn signals and mirrors would probably be nice too. Maybe a license plate. But fenders? What's wrong with a little dirt and grime up your back? Haha.

i like it. Tires look too fat...like caricatures. Otherwise, it looks cool.

The tires are for riding across large bodies of water. Didn't you guys read the article? Geeze.

+2 on the tire. I never got the allure of fat front tires - or big 21" front wheels that you often see on customs. That balloon front certainly can't do much for handling. Otherwise a sweet looking bike.

I like most Harley's...but I'll pass on that version of the 750.

HANDLING? You won't give a darn about handling after the frame around the seat starts chafing your inner thighs.

It's how it SHOULD look to me. Stock it looks hideous.

I don't recall if it was on this forum or on the VFR forum where I described having my head scanned by Bell Helmets. I had no idea this would be the result!

Agreed.

As Eye Candy, Its great.

I agree that the stock look isn't that appealing, but this doesnt inspire confidence in handling or comfort. A cute concept bike, but not for me. Just my opinion, and you did ask for opinions!

Perhaps due to like of retro bikes, mostly Japanese and British, just don t care for that look. Really, I think it looks like sh@t, but everyone to his own.

Seems there's always someone willing to customize any bike to get a reaction. It's nice to see but the new 750/500 HD engines just don't do anything for me. Just like Honda's 750 cruisers, they just don't have the appeal.

This video just came out yesterday. The styling looks familiar. Coincidence? Or possibly a trend in custom bike builds? And what I'm referring to primarily are the fat tires. I still like it. What I like even more is how the project was opened up for a bunch of people to participate and contribute towards the end result. The bends in those pipes are crazy. I have to think, although eye catching, it has to detract somewhat from performance to have the gases make so many turns on their journey out the back. Still, pretty darn cool in my opinion. Those Australians are nutty, I tell ya'.
