Hope the link works - some inventive themes - great rear lamp mounting.

Not sure how he plans to read the gauges while riding.....but I guess thats probably not an issue as I suspect they mostly won't be connected...aside from the speedo up front.
can't tell if all the bodywork is redone in sheet metal, or painted to look like it. I suspect its a bit of both, dressed up with rivets.

That rear lamp mount with a carb and carb inlet rubber....great idea! Probably isolates the vibration too :)

wouldn't want to ride it ...... but I can appreciate the effort thats gone into it.
