    Someone should put in an offer to come around with a rifle to put the poor thing out of its misery.

    If you go to the web site on the banner behind the bike ( http://shape-shifter.co.nz ) you will see they do their own WOF (and have a supply of "promo girls" as well)

    A custom is built to suit your own taste. You customise it. You ride it. I have never understood the "I have money so I will buy a custom" view. But then, I am from the old guard.

    But at the same time, to argue or belittle someone elses custom is as pointless as discuss what beer tastes best.

    To the builder: Well done. You have a vision and you create something. Clearly you build bikes and have decided to try to make an income from that. Respect!

    To the posters on here: The bike is not completed, (No wiring, throttle, clutch etc.) and clearly will have the missing bits added. How many of you have ever built a bike, do you have any idea what it takes?

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    That is true. Although this bike is certainly not my cup of tea, I have checked out those chaps' website and it seems they have the passion and skill to do a job that I would love to have. They do deserve full respect for that.
