Strange !, all that work on the frame tubes then what looks like an old Honda CB900 tank cut about but doesn't fit the lines of the frame, looks good at first glance but not sure if I like it.



edit, I like the odd bit but overall :thumbdown:

I like the odd bits, for example the exhaust would look cracking on a gsxr1000 ;)

Looks mega but you would have thought they would have done something with the rearsets mind

But it does show that the storm engine in nothing to write home about in the looks department

The same bike with a Harley style air cooled engine in it would look better

So, who can use photoshop then?

i'd like to know how it runs with those air filters, maybe its got flatside carbs. i do wish people wouldn't name a bike, come on....rogue
but other than that, sort out the rearsets and maybe chroming the engine and cam covers, i think they've made a special bike. its very easy to make a thugly bike, remember christine!!!!!!!!!

i also like the mix of old and new, it has a cafe racer style with a modern single sided swingarm. the colour scheme is tasteful, i'd like to see more pictures of it... :thumbup:

It's a lot of work and some great ideas but let down withthe details like the footrests and the size of the middle engine mounting plates.

This one make Christine beautiful.

The frame and exhaust is great, but he rest of it is a mish-mash. Just does not look right or appeal to me. And with the carbs and pod filters the tank is even smaller still. 8O
