that the nice part of owning a roadstar, you can change the look to suit your tastes. it is very unique and i,m sure you wont see another one like it any time soon. a lot of work went into this bike and the only one who needs to be happy is the owner.

Absolutely!!!

Re:Bad Roadie 3 Years, 7 Months ago  
While not what I would build, I think this bike is INCREDIBLE! This is very unique, and tastfully done. To me the bike looks like it would have been a custom bike right out of the 50's or 60's without being something that was built then. Anyone can copy an old bike or someone else's design and make it their own.
You would think that there is not a whole lot left that can be done to a motorcycle that is truly different and unique, but when I see this bike, to me it is like WOW! finely someone building a bike that is truly his own. I wish that I had this guy/gals talent. I tend to look though thousands of pics of other peoples bikes and get ideas on how to build my own. How many people are left that make something their own and still does it tastefully?
I think this bike, (while not my taste) is worthy of a magazine spread. Probably one of the best I've seen for a while.... If you can't tell, I'm impressed when someone can come up with their own design nowdays.
Way to go( MTMOUS)Mighty Mouse

Re:Bad Roadie 3 Years, 7 Months ago  
Not my thing but I think it's pretty cool - I'd ride it.
Not a fan of the fairing, reminds me too much of the current Polaris-Indian faring.
I don't like the new Indian fairing because it looks to me like someone at Polaris just slapped a Victory headlight & fairing on an Indian.
LOVE the bags & Ford side lights, those look nothing short of outfrigginstanding.

As someone who has gone toward recreating the vibe of my first big bike (1958 Harley DuoGlide) on a Roadstar I can appreciate going for a vintage groove on a modern bike.
Kind of like "All of the Sex with none of the STDs".

This fits in here, right? I mean, I can make this fit in here ... right?

The first year for the Duo Glide was 1958..

I never really liked the Rifle fairing but on that bike it looks good.

Re:Bad Roadie 3 Years, 7 Months ago  
I like this bike. From the seat looking forward it has a very nice and well thought out sanitary look. To me it reminds me of my grandfathers 1960 Caddi which was blue but had the same feel to it somehow. He clearly likes white and retro stuff. Look at the trailer in the shot of the rear of his bike. Very cool cause it is nit lime everyone else ride.

Re:Bad Roadie 3 Years, 7 Months ago  
I like it overall myself. White is not my style (however the black my bike is painted is a tired color of choice too) but the lines and style is cool with me and i would like to see it in person. Hopefully he does join but if i was a outsider looking in i doubt i would sign up, this thread rolled over out the gate

Re:Bad Roadie 3 Years, 7 Months ago  
White has never been a color I would pick as the main color, but this bike looks good! Kind of surprised at the comments that went around about it
