Bobbers are cool looking bikes, don't matter if it is a real retro or a fabricated one. This one would have been better of with a matt black or orther matt dark paint. Then wear a ragged old jeans, some armyboots, a leather jacket and an hold helmet and drive of into the sunset.

its not wrong at all, at least they aren't using the same frame style they always do, dare to be different, only a bit wrong as its a bit too orange, the Dutch would be jealous of that, ....and Jodie Marsh or Michelle Heaton

It is a bit 'tanfastic' but it would rock hard with a nice dark satin paintjob. I think the only other thing I'd change is I'd mount the headlight low over the front tyre

Reminds me of that funny thread where those two guys delivered an RS4 across the states and wrapped it in the same colour tape so it was the colour they prefer.
Although in this case I fear the reasoning is a lot less funny.

No, there's nothing wrong. It's not my thing particularly but why should that stop it being yours? It's got a hell of a lot more oof than some of the art bikes, that's for sure!

Speaking from largely a biking past, bobbers can be a true art of running a vehicle at near 100% simplicity/legality!!!
Ive seen bikes with less than half a dozen functioning wires, its a technophobes dream!

Looks pretty nice to me, headlight position apart. In fact it's the only OCC bike I like so far. Amazingly restrained compared to their normal things.
King of minimal wiring might be the 50s/poss 60s off-roaders, magneto, no lights, no ign' switch, no battery... minimal chance for fun interruption by the Prince of Darkness! Friend of a friend rides an AJS road bike equipped like that, on a daytime MOT.
