That's one of those bikes that there is about 25 cool little details that 25 different people would pick out and like. Dual thumbs up!

Looks like a few people designed the bike with a different idea in mind and they never sat down to discuss it with each other. Each detail looks cool but when you put them on the bike together it looks confusing. The color Clashing to me looks horrible

Headlight/Taillight/Mirror/Fuel Filter and Battery Box are painted a rust orange.
Tank and Rear Fender are a Gold/Maroon color. To me looks like a rebal or bad ass biker theme with the flames.
Seat, kickstand, pegs and handle Grips are dark brown leather(?) with deep stitching that reminds me of an Indians Shoe with the thick stitch's.
Got the Wrench holding the mirror and Headlight that look awesome but like everything else, out of place.
And the most out of place thing is the ammo box, Dont get me wrong it looks awesome but where exactly does it fit in with the rest of the bike? I dont see any bullets or guns on the bike anywhere?

Not trying to knock your work if its you that built the bike. I checked out the website and the other bikes have a theme (flames, Skulls, old school racer) what exactly was the theme of this bike? Its got like 5 different themes and there all fighting for attention.

I also checked out his site. Where does he find those super old school Harleys? Like the '40s, '50s, and '60s. Not really a big fan of the cruiser style bikes, but that old, vintage stuff is definitely my style...

Those old Harley's were all done for the Harley Museum in Milwaukee. They provided the bikes, he just did the paint work.

Chad does a TON of bike restorating paintjobs for Harley.

Kindschi, its a bike you need to see in person. The paint is all done with Kandys, it looks different from every angle. The leather doesn't photograph well, and the wrenchs fit in awesome. All the rear fender supports are box end wrenchs ( 6 total ), the headlight bucket is a cap to an argon gas tank ( for welding ), its a tooled bike. The orange is everywhere on the bike, battery, headlight, taillight buckets, flames on both tank and fender, etc.

I don't like the handlebars on the bike, and the triple tree's were made by hand from the guy that built the bike the first time around so not much changing that area around. We will get around to get some rolling shots where I think this bike will really shine.

After taking a second look, I agree those handlebars are kinda messed up.

I'm not a huge fan of the paint job, Kandy or not, but I really dig all the leather work.

i feel that the seat and the handle bars and pegs? look outta place with the flames, i'm starting to get "burned" out with flames seems like its becoming an old school fashion.

i woulda gone with a paint job that looks "meaner" like kinda demented or something if i were to have chosen that seat. but thats my opinion. quality work i gotta say though.
