To be fair I don't think they are putting his name on these bikes but just making use of the fact that Buell engines are cheap horsepower light weight in a bizarre world where the V twin is king for looks alone.

If the manufacturing skill that had gone into that had been channellled into a performance machine then he would have been on to a winner but still have to admire the skills and drive to produce it. Still a good looking engine though aint it.

Although not a Buell, I quite like it, not that it can be seen properly.

But it has to be a 45ish degree V twin engine in a custom bike - nothing else does it for me - I've seen a few ducati engined ( 90 degree ) choppers and they just don't look right - about 60 degrees is the aesthetically pleasing max in my eye ...
