Is that a Paralever with hub center steering? My favorite part of it is the belts holding on the seat hump.

I find the front of the frame too boxy to be attractive! If it's not going to be operational, it should be aesthetically pleasing. IMNSHO

Hub-center steering – yes.
Seat hump = fuel tank !

ZM – you are certainly entitled to your definition of aesthetics,
but this IS a fully operational machine !

I think instead of pin striping, it should have neon light striping for boulevard cruising at night! :ugeek:

Do you see ANY lights on this motorcycle ?
Although purportedly a functional piece (as evaluated in Motorcycle Chassis Digest),
I would willingly accept ZM's evaluation as a "mantel piece" rather than that of a "boulevard cruiser".
The styling of the machine is certainly based upon LSR / drag-bike aesthetics.

What I do find is that the level of engineering is quite impressive, the details well thought & executed,
but of course, beauty is in the eye ...

I will add that my level of appreciation might increase dramatically
if that gorgeous hub-center steering were covered with salt !

Sorry, Rob.
It is not the fact that few cannot even attach saddle bags without a committee referendum and decision,
let alone have the perverted vision to conceive, design,and build a supercharged-siamesed-Ural
from the ground up ...

but rather the term "cruiser".
It always sounds like so many fingernails screeching on a blackboard.

Pretty damn effective linguistic tool, eh? lol!

Those vehicles with lights on them for glitz really make me laugh! :lol: (see?)

Laughing is good – it increases the level of endorphins and enhances the effectiveness of T cells.
