They're a good platform for something like that, except for the shaft drive thing really.

There are a few in teh states that are converted to chain drive. Real neat platform for a cafe, good looking motor

Think its just a bit of sweetcorn mate, wouldn't read too much into it... :bleh:

I think with the front swingarm on that angle, it'll have worse suspension action than a raked out harley.

If the front eve compresses, it will rake itself out so bad, the thing won't bloody turn. But if you're on the brakes, it will just extend the front to the point that there will be zero rake or trail...=very bad also.

Was at the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride this morning to have a looksee at the bikes.

There were some beautiful bikes there, here are a couple of customs that really stood out for me:

http://iforce.co.nz/i/ozpv4et1.eca.jpg

Not sure what the engine was in this, but this frame build was amazing. Love the heat marks from the welds being used as part of the aesthetic.

http://iforce.co.nz/i/zc0m3zm1.bts.jpg

This XV750 was really nice. Shiny chrome usually isn't my cup of tea, but was very tastefully done here.

Apologies for the photo quality, only had my phone!
