I stopped in at a dealer and noticed a "custom chopper" in for repairs.

The owner, who built it, was having some issues with the wiring and getting it to run right.

There are some (a few) pieces to this motorcycle that I found to be really cool -

And then, there was the other extreme, all on one motorcycle.

Get comfortable, so much wrong, some things right, a lot going on here..... Enjoy

Copper and black seems to be the new trend based on some of the custom bikes I've recently seen. I agree with your assessment. That black diamond plate really detracts from the motor aesthetics IMHO.

A Japanese hog
Evans, the diamond plate was to get the weight up to Hardley levels; I imagine the frame is filled with lead shot as well :clap: :clap:
