I think I'd crap my pants if I saw that next to me on the highway. I looks kinda badass.

That's where you put your optional rocket launchers and machine guns.

Have fun either getting paintchips on the front, in your face or eating mud/dirt.

ah show bikes... not the best of ideas imo...

as for the steering, they have a pivoting axle spindle assembly with a push/pull linkage:

It's a neat idea but I don't like springer style front ends and I don't like the limited turning angles that choppers tend to love...

What? Fender less bikes are NOT that bad, I have built 3 of them. Only time they suck is in the rain. Paint chips, its a freaking show bike. And even so, paint chips mean its ridden whats wrong with that?

It's da intarwebz, **** yo grammars.

Like the style of the bike, wouldn't want to ride it but cool looking. And I'm with pOrk, paint chips and other roadwear just prove it's not a straight-up trailer queen. I couldn't imagine dumping tons of money into something just to leave it in a garage and tow it everywhere to keep it pristine. Mod it and drive it.

Looks like the bike Batman had in the new Batman movie, only not beefy and flat black...
