I guess if this weren't a 2-stroke triple I wouldn't have found it so bad. The work they did actually looks pretty good compared to a lot of other hack jobs out there. It's just a horrible fit with the H1. Those 2 strokes are basically racing machines that like to rev high and go fast:woohoo: :woohoo: I feel sorry for that poor thing...:(

Oh, and not to mention that the ad is absolutely FULL of total BS...:whistle:

Some people just never grasped the concept from composition class that white space is critical for readability.

Well I might be in the minority here but I kinda like that ride.

Probably because it is so damned unusual, especially with that smokey triple hanging in the frame. I could just imagine pulling into the coffee shop on Tuesday bike night in my town. Every guy on their Harley clones would be scratching their heads wondering what side of Hell that bike came from with its chainsaw motor. When you finally kicked it over and left a blue trail of smoke belching from the pipe, it would certainly elicit comments.

It reminds me of a mangey old dog I once had. Ratty looking fur full of burrs, his eyes hidden behind long stringy bangs and a distinct wiggle from when he tied in a battle with a speeding car. That little old dog sure was ugly but he was unique and every other dog respected him 'cause he had attitude.

Just like that old bobbed triple.

Ah, that's too bad. H1's and H2's are some of my favorite bikes.

I guess you could look at it like an investment. If you bought for a realistic price, you could always sell the harley parts off it and use the money to build it how it should be built. I sure the value of the hardley parts should cover most of the cost to make things right.(I feel the same way about Monte Carlo's that were turned into lowriders too. I just don't have the garage space to do anything about them.)
