Make it so the seat lifts off and there's an alloy "trunk" where the open under-seat space is now and it would work for me as a day rider.
Like Mike, I assume the battery's in the seat hump, and the rest of the wiring is handled in the headlight/fairing assembly. I assume all the full size relays from the stocker can be replaced with much smaller electronics.
I would have preferred he kept the dual headlight look.
Regarding using Metzlers, maybe he got them free if he highlighted the name.

I too wonder where he put all that chit. Love the clean look, wish I could do that. And following the thread, I spent some Army time at Fort Carson. Beautiful area, and very cold in the winter.

He prolly don't commute to work with it.
Or take long trips . . .

I'd like to know where the battery and all the other crap in the empty space under the seat went???

He has S&S whip him up a magneto and a kick starter!

I was taught that "If you don't have anything good to say about someone (or someones bike in this case),
then don't say anything at all" - so I'm just biting my lip....

I am agreeing with Tribal's comment above, if you dont like it, say nowt! But really appreciate the engineering skill that goes into some of them, like this Triumph Rocket III Cafe Racer - Wenley Andrews - Pipeburn.com

Looks alright, the builder must not know how bad the Metzlers are. Or surely while he had them off powder coating the rims he would have put some good rubber on it.

In Germany - he will have maybe had to be very conservative - Metz or Cobras - End of Story.

Correct, in Germany you cannot deviate from standard fitment at all, it's same here in the UK in a lot of places but if you buy your tyres elsewhere, places will fit them. I have ordered Bridgestones for mine, from Germany of all places but they don't know what I am using them on I guess

www.tyreleader.co.uk (they are in Germany, dont let the .co.uk fool you) if anyone is looking, quick delivery and couldnt find them cheaper anywhere else.
