As long as you don't have to start it, it looks fine except for those pod filters on DOHC Honda 4 cylinder KeiHin CV carbs.
And the second you make a right turn, that POS V&H header is going to drag and cause a wreck.
It must be a left turn only Nascar Bruncle that built that bike because he ruined it.

If you can't properly tune Keihin CV's with pods installed, you are a pussy.
And if you don't have the balls to scrape a flat spot into the V&H pipe, you are a huge Shit for Brains.

Anyone that tries to put pods on CV carbs instead of digging deep for the real mechanical slide carbs with velocity stacks is a tightwad jig rig building lame. 
V&H does not make a good header, they never did and never will.

The cost outweighs any gains made here, I don't get it. The exhaust does not look right, put it all back to standard and this would be a great bike. Just my opinion  .
As the saying goes, one man's meat is another man's poison.

The guy must own a chrome shop. POS sidewinder pipe. Too long of a wheel base, it'll turn like a turtle.

This thing looks like it belongs on the dragstrip.
Don`t know what it would ride like but I could look at that all day........it appeals to me.
Just my humble opinion.

Tim,
I can understand this bike would appeal to some, for me it's things like the ill fitting front mudguard that I don't understand. Then there is the $6,500 asking price!

I would agree - that was probably the guy's intention when he set it up that way.
