The proportions are all wrong.
A blind bloke on a galloping horse could see that from a 100 yards.

It's difficult to fuck up the cafe racer craze that is going on a the moment. But they have done a good job

The only place fo a buell engine to go is into a mutant hardtail bobber chop - courtesy of my Swiss friend ! :yup:

Need more fork rake
Wider back tyre
And some forward controls - then we are talking .... 8-)

The Norley is nicer to the eye, but this trend to buy and bolt together either a chop, bobber or cafe racer then present them as your own work ,(an individual one off,) will be the death of a lot of Buells. :sad1:

Fek :shock: what a POS :roll: :rotfl:

Absolutely no thought what so ever has gone into making the chassis torsionally stiff, it's all about sticking tubes around a big hole to get any motor in it :roll:

At least the trike has no pretensions other than being for posing.

The rake on the cafe racer looks totally wrong, as does the wheelbase. What have they been looking at for inspiration?

No need to chop a Buell, just do this to a Sportster.
