That looks seriously beefy!

Initial reaction was eugh?
probly as i have never seen anything quiet like it...

After a second glance though, i have to say, its pretty unusual and after litterally moments, i think i like it. Infact i would go out on a limb and that thats pretty funky!

Go for it, if you like it then it shouldnt be to much of an issue and it is pretty unusual looking fo beefy and all that but seriously, i have to say i likes!

[mad4it028]

that was pretty much my reaction too but the more i see it the more i like the clean lines i think ide try to get the brake lines running through it too if i can for an even cleaner finish

Too much tart, but I think it works well for 'what it is'.

[TUG]

I like the bike but the forks in a cruiser style? Wtf...

Can look good but as so much is with Streetfighters, it depends on what you do with the rest of the bike really.

Two points:

1) It's hideous
2) That's a good thing.

If you like it, do it.

It's a nice bike, with a stupid arse, FAT forks and bars and a completely pointless mudguard. standard mudguard and some normal bars would improve it a fair bit.

I looked.
I looked again.
I contemplated what I saw.
I went back to look again, to be sure.
Conclusion:-
They look like some-one has taken a bad harley clone front end, vaccuum formed some polysthene sheet over it, to get the shape of an old cartridge fork to cover some scabby old right-way uppers.
Looked at the flakey chrome on the originals, tried to copy it by spraying with a few cans of Halfords 'Chrome Effect' wheel-spray.
Looked at the result, shrugged, and slapped the plastic on ANYWAY!

I LIKE the concept, but, err.... it just doesn't QUITE work so well in the execution.

I dont know what it is, it looks like it OUGHT to look 'phat' but, 'something' just jars to the eye.

MIGHT work, but if you are going skinny on the back end, i dont know that it would suit teh concept of the bike overall.

for a sort of high-tech bobber, think it may work, IF its done a bit differently.

Maybe if it was propper chrome; maybe if the detailing had more distinct changes, maybe if there was more or less detail in the moulding.

I dont know EXACTLY, but as seen, it just doesn't 'quite' work.

Chunky forks like that, probably better on a cruiser / custom type.

On a streetfighter??

Good God no.

[Acemastr]

Maybe yes... if they aren't white, maybe break the colour up a bit so they aren't so bland.

On a side note, you out anymore? We'll have to go on a ride where i'm not paying catchup on a 125

All the front end looks crap.
All of the rear looks crap.
The middle looks crap too.
But the front looks the crappiest.
