I only have one question; why

What's the most unusual mods you’ve come across

yea - but that side cover is cool
Actually I like the idea of a cruiser with bandit running gear - it certainly wouldn't hang about

Whats so weird? Its a chopper with an engine thrown in. Far from uncommon. Theres a chopper on trademe right now with a CB650 engine or something in it. Some sort of inline 4 engine.

Damn that seat on the converted Bandit must be uncomfortable. Definitely not for long cruises, and the tank is tiny too.

Never understood bikes built mainly for show.

I'd have big kudos for the person who rides that. Put a lot of soul in to it for whatever reason. I hope they enjoy it and have lots of fun.
The bandit engine is pretty strong, and there are a decent amount of go-faster bits for them too.

I love the norton chopper that does the south island rounds (I'll upload a pic in a second) with the angular tank.

Me? If I was told to make a chopper I'd love it to be something kookie, like a duke engine, or even better would be to squeeze a rotary racer inside the engine and gearbox housing of a Harley. Just because of the conflicting error messages people would have when they try to place what kind of bike it is.
