Who the feck ruined a Storm to make something that looks as agricultural as a fecking Hardley!

Knob wants shootin - but would I waste a bullet?

If you want a peice of sh1t Harley, buy one, don't ruin a perfectly good bike to emulate one IMO

Just my threpence

:evil:

Think that's a resounding no vote then Stevie :lol:

The cruisers really a standard 'storm with different front end and bodywork ,whereas there's no much of an original 'storm left in that bike :!: :!:

Man that is so good looking , i just love it when you can see that engine, somehow the engine looks huge , that bike must be tiny :!:

Mental looking :!: Luv it :!:

Stevie,

I think it looks alright for that style of bike, not a bad effort IMHO :!: Probably a different colour paint job would make it look better, but then again it's not the best of photo's. Also if the bike was actually seen it would look different I expect.

I see the cross over part of the frame that sits at the back of the fuel tank has been modified.

It's very rare I knock something that's different, even if it's not my cup of tea, as it's because of people pushing all four corners of the envelope that we have the style of bikes we ride today :!:

Lazareth clicky
Now THAT I like

It's an engine, two wheels, and not much else. Excellent!

BikerPiker.
Thanks for posting that pic.
Well, I'll be different (nowt different there then!) and say I LIKE it.
It's not the FS we know and love, but much better than a Harley IMHO and as has been stated a sort of OCC type beasty. No, it's great. Thank g*d for individualistic tastes.
The Lazareth is nice too expept for the strange lower fairing. OK if that's the fuel tank though!!!

Now back outside to modify a bit more on the 748!!!!
