"Just like"? They may think so, but with good quality custom work there is no "just like". As a matter of fact, that's the whole point. With the first Tempus, I put almost a thousand into her to build her just the way I wanted. People would stare. People would compliment me. People would want one of their own. I would tell them what it cost me...instant turn off. What did they expect? You can't just go to Walmart and get a custom, one-off bike (yet).
there's nothing wrong with the way the motors are mounted, i was just saying that with all the other modifications to the bikes, which was done with a lot of thought, care, and skill (including welding) i think the motors coulda been installed using more than just the factory mounts, chain tensioners and sprockets.
A 1-stroke? Oh yeah, that's where the engine just goes "BANG" and dies, because some know-it-all B.S.er forgot to add the oil in the gas.
They might look great on first passing but it's pretty much smoke an mirrors imo...there isn't that much there that most in this group couldn't do for significantly less than what these are selling for. These bikes look better than mine but I only have about 750 each in mine but this pair is not 3500 better (imo) than my pair and they won't go any faster! Fiberglass tanks! I have nothing against fiberglass tanks (I think the ad says they are fiberglass) of course or tank covers but for that kind of money I would expect metal tanks. I mean they are going for more used than what some really good builders have done better ro just as good for less. The antiqued finish gives them eye appeal (until you tire of it), from an artsy/emotional status they do look good but 2500 each? IMO this is a case of eye appeal overriding logic...something ebay thrives on.
