Good old Hard tail chops, a good way to batter the piles back into place. To increase comfort, what about changing the seat slightly and fitting a pivot and spring system to it? Ok, it may not follow the smooth lines on that gorgeous chop, but it could increase the mileage for your mate.

Geo, those tanks are amazing, I love the sculpted one with the Ivy. However, the Grim reaper does look like he is holding a sex toy as opposed to a sword! It is entirely possible that I just have a very dirty mind...

He will be pleased to know at least one person thought it looked a bit like an Exile Cycle - I did before I read your comment above comment

I had to ride a VN1700 Classic Tourer the other day to try and find a noise the owner was moaning about (I didn't find anything). By the time I'd done about 6 miles I was all but ready to kick the feckin' thing into a ditch and walk back to the shop, it was probably the most uncomfortable and foul handling, underbraked pile of crap I have ever ridden and for 1700ccs it was completely gutless. Why - I mean really, why do grown men who ought to know better spend so much hard earnt money on such abominations?
