Custom bike show RZ

Pretty sweet Lil bike, Lot O' color. Very well put together. Likley the nicest Streetfighter-ish RZ, I've ever viewed. Pretty much defines the term "Hooligan " bike.

Isn't taste subjective? I'd either take off or repaint anything yellow, white, add a white front guard and single round headlight ; then it'd be awesome.

Oh yes ,subjective. If it were mine I'd certainly change color, and Oh God! I hate twin round headlights...yuk.

But it's soley, the artists, interpretation and he went bold on the colors, but somehow he's pulled it off, it works! Even if it's not my taste, hats off to her or him, it's also oh so super clean...

But I've viewed many attempts a street fighter themed RZs, I honestly can't say I've viewed one that looks as interesting as this. To me as I mentioned above, it just cries "Hooligan", Like a Frankenstein, built in a garage with parts from unlucky doners, whom met a demise, now they all live again...lol

Sombody noted the sidestand being on the wrong side?
Or is that a special conversion for one-legged riders in left-hand traffic countries?

Maybe that's one of two, and they're wings. Seriously, a really beautiful build. Not my style, but I appreciate the effort and results. Great work.

It certainly is shiny. And the chain is loose enough to cause damage should it ever be ridden.
