      Bf never let anyone tell you something doesn't look good. The reason custom bikes are so big is because you can make what you want, not someone else!

      Sure, and that's why many of them look hideous….Not to put anybody down or to mock. They just do.

      I also think that newbies (I don't know if BF is) with bikes sometimes just need to be pointed to some obvious things on bikes before they do purchase. Ofcourse the final decision is solely buyers.
      (Ass that fat and narrow front wheel might act funny while riding curvy roads, expect also "custom" handling)

      Also always when doing custom (whateverbike, car, etc.) and putting it to public viewing, expect praise as well as critisism.

      Maybe my over 30 years with bobbers and choppers has narrowed MY wiev... 😉

        Seems like an odd placement for the exhaust on that ultima… Looks like it could mess with foot placement but maybe I'm just not seeing it right from the angles of the pic

            Right on BF!! Personally I think it looks pretty cool as well only thing I was saying is just that the exhaust looks like it kinda bends funny around the foot area and would have to be conscious and cautious with it. Besides that I think its n interesting concept.

                  I didn't know Olivia was that inked up.  Kinda like the "Remember the Maine" one.

                                That happens and often….

                                  yeah dude i know
                                  was kinda pumped on it because it was nice enough looking i wouldnt have felt like a total goof riding it for a year or so while i gathered parts to completely change it
                                  but thats the way it goes
                                  also i hate people that are selling something but "i really want to sell it to some one that will appreciate it the way it is"
                                  its a fucking motorcycle dude theyre whole life is about being changed

                                    My usual thought when selling a bike, car, or anything is "If you've got the green it's your's!"

                                    And like IJ posted - it will come, just be patient!

                                    And just to add my .02 on the custom stuff - rear tires over 200mm on a Harley (custom, factory, etc.) SUCK!  Again, that's my just my opinion.

                                      anything over 4"s sucks as a back tire 🙂
                                      i know i'll find the right machine eventually

                                            My $0.02 when looking at a bike ask the seller to NOT run it before you get there. Its very important to see/hear it start cold.
