:yt: IMHO it's still worthy of bearing the 'Buell' name as at least it's not been chopped, hard-tailed or baggered (maybe that should be spelt with a 'U' lOl ).

There is a lot to like about the original bike posted here, but also a lot of things that I would have done differently.

At the end of the day, its all about being an individual and - if the owner likes it - who am I to say any different. After all, when you look at what I've done to a M2, I'm hardly in a position to comment further.
