    I like the work, but I'm not sure I'd like the tank sitting in my face. It doesn't seem all that intuitive. I'm curious as well, how comfortable is it when riding and how does it handle? Got any photos with someone riding it?

    My first impression is that the Fuel Tank looks way ... WAY-out of place.

    All that height above the Center of Gravity is going to mean that the bike is going to ride differently all the while the Fuel is being used.

    You need to Lower that tank some. If you aren't happy with where it belongs ... Fab-up another Smaller tank and put that on there.

    That one there makes it look like somebody didn;t read the plans right!

    It's not a bike you would take on a cross country trip. It looks like it was made for cruising. Just to turn some heads. I still like it.

    there is a 4 inch stretch in the down tubes.
    6 inch over fork tubes

    we did a drop seat frame because of a customers request.
    the bike handles like a dream.fast,responsive and with the
    sprung seat and forward controls quite comfy for a rigid.

    we built the bike for a gentleman who had cancer.he rode the bike for 4 months until the cancer spread.we now have the bike back at the shop
    and are wishing kevin a speedy recovery so he can start riding again.

    How does it run with those chopped-off straight pipes.

    Do you remember what you had to do for the right Jetting???

    Looks Crazy.

    Would definately make a good hopper.

    Not a huge fan of 4 cylinders in choppers, but that is definately one of the nicest maxim chops i've seen.

    OH, and definately wish the best of luck to the gentleman in recovery from myself and I'm sure alot of others here on the board.

    Super madmax dude! Thats crazy wild! Love it! Work of art indeed. The hight of the tank ads originality and character. Love those stock rims. Keeps it tru to its roots. Keep up the good work, and all the best to your client kevin.
