Seen at South Leverton bike nite!
 
Presumably ...

... unless he lives there ! Im not a 'custom' fan but that looks good :thumb
 
Doesn't do it for me...

All it says is 'Look at me, I've got loads of money'

:blast
 
As I said above ...

Would love to see some home brewed originality...

... I'm not a huge fan or follower of the custom scene but your remark would indicate fat front wheels are following a trend; that I haven't seen :nenau

I think the one pictured is different enough from the 'bobber' style to qualify as original, you obviously don't and I'm genuinely curious as to why ?

Bobbers have been done to death. 'tis true...

But just because it's not a Bobber doesn't make it interesting (to me).

Hence the comment about 'originality'...
 
It will go round corners perfectly fine, the issue is riding down a straight road when there's a steep camber :eek

As for it being a custom, it looks like a fairly stock Softail to me :nenau

O.K. it has a fancy front end but that just bolts on. So do the wheels. A bit of work to make the back light flush but it's off the shelf. It does cost a LOT of money to build something that looks that mass produced though.

I like the paint though :thumb

So it's basically a stock bike! :D:D

(apart from the wheels, the front end, handlebars, mirrors, rear mudguard, front mudguard, exhaust, seat, air filter, stretched tank, paint job, forward controls, rear light, clocks/tank console, switchgear, indicators, headlights......aaaaaannnndddddd a belly pan)
 
Well it ain't a chop, and it ain't a bobber so that would make it a 'stock custom' at most events, yes :blast

Dunno what the categories are at most events, can't be arsed with them anymore. But its a long way from being a stock softail, YES :blast
