What a beauty! Great job with the styling, it all works very nicely. I love the can. I'm sure the locals love the tank too! Did you write 'mentalist' on the other side?
More pictures please!!!

Brilliant i love it! Why the suicide shifter? Is it just for the laugh or does it serve a purpose for stunts?

yes, that last image, the wheelie, does look pretty 神经病, and I don't mean the writing on the tank!jkp

suicide shifter is when the operation of changing gears is done by hand, not by foot as usual on a modern motorcycle
this bike i made a hand gear shift and also placed the clutch lever on the handshifter, it was used on bikes in the 1930s and was also called jockey shifting
got its name "suicide shift" because when you change down gears you only have one hand on the handlebars so is easy to lose control!!! haha
no purpose for stunting at all, mainly makes the handle bars look cleaner with no clutch lever, i just think it looks cool and is something different haha

11-14-2010, 09:52 AMNot mine, just found it downstairs. I was looking for the footpeg and shifter, took me sometime to figure out the seating position is quiet different from a cruizer or an enduro bike. What I thought is a footpeg, is actualy some kind of crash protection. It's clear in the third picture. Now he/she can crash and rest assured his/her bike is safe
