Not my style of bike, but the engineering on that thing was impressive and the point sr was trying to make. It isnt just hacking tubes with a tape measure anymore. If it were a chopper, it would have lost the real message they were trying to get across. It still missed 98% of the people, but they made their point to some..

Honestly it was a brilliant bike in tech, but leaving the bike only on technical merits didn't achieve the goal of Juniors serious eye candy bedazzled bikes. Junior's bikes are more balanced on the levels of style, but it is all on how his bike looks. If Senior or the team would've laid some anodized some of the parts of the bike or even figured out how to do a combo anodized, chromed, plated or paint to add the style image factor to the bike it would've beat Fast an loud or even Junior's bike

Part of my business is anodizing. all those bright pretty colors are the worst lightfastness of all dyes and are eventually gonna fade even under the uv lights in the showroom. The only way to protect them is to clear over them, which ends up making them look like paint.
Those faded fittings in your left picture are not anodized, its an oxidization process that will fade even quicker. Clear was the way to go.
Junior could do no wrong in your eyes, but the simple fact is you dont put a grill in back of a front tire lost any car guy from liking that bike. we all know it was not made to be a touring bike and know blocking the airflow to that air cooled engine is not gonna be a happy engine. thats all things considered. Its a popularity contest and the majority of sons cant take their fathers and immediately voted for the pity whore.
