Just browsing ebay for a bit of a new project and came across this beauty Shocked https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-OFF-CUSTOM-SUZUKI-AN250-SCOOTER-CHOPPER-BOBBER-BRAT-CAFE-RACER-HONDA-RUCKUS/184183190710?hash=item2ae22c74b6:g:-bwAAOSwkvheRXhr. It's certainly different. Apparently he is selling it so he can build a Royal Enfield chopper with a diesel engine. Some people just shouldn't be given access to tools.

Someone near me built something very similar last year, and painted it in bright orange. Might be a sort of niche.

Having the speedo & gauges down at your feet is stupidity

I would have to strap a very thick cushion on it. Laughing

Sick YUK!
The description says that the fork legs have been shaved?, were the fork legs hairy then?

I quite like to see this sort of thing but he's also put it on as a classified ad (couldn't he have done an auction with a buy it now option?) for

£3499 Shocked

Also needs a bit of colour.

Aside from wrecked steering geometry I reckon it'll moan, howl and whistle with the wind rushing through the frame. You know - like blowing the top of a beer bottle.
Scary bit is they've chopped the fuel tank. I cringe when that's done by folk making these things.

The forks have no top yoke or even a mudguard to brace them - how would they not twist to fuckery over the first bump? Not something I'd care to ride above walking pace..

Looks like a fun field bike (BCF BBQ style) but what the fuck I wouldn't be seen dead riding that on the road Laughing

The forks are shorter and stouter than the same sort of arrangement you'd find on say a MTB. Even so, some sort of bracing, even just a mudguard, between the forks would be preferable.
