I can live with the forks, but the front tire is way too big and out of balance.  The peanut size tank belongs on a Sportster or chopper - too small & too short.  Fenders are either too small or take them off completely.  Looks like nice work though.

As for the forks, just a set of upside downs off some sport bike.

+1. That front tire is just wrong.

I think the same of throwing a HD tank on it. The RE tank would be better, IMHO.

I just realized this bike is the perfect solution to the age old problem we all have:
"So who makes it?"
"Harley!  Duh!"
