Looks like little scoops on there to cool the engine. Makes me want to throw my latest frame together just get out there and ride it

I think you should do that , Tom . Not much time before snow for you guys .

But , maybe you won't paint your handlebar blue .

I'm not sure why he plated the sides of the cylinder ... could be just so he could use those scoops .

   That would be my guess also.  He must have felt the scoops matched with the fishtail exhaust, and would maybe "fool" people into ignoring the "outboard motor" looking air cleaner that's still on it?

I have to think the lights would all have to be LEDs if they are powered by that little 6 watt generator and have any power left for the horn .

And , I can't tell what the lever on the left is for ... maybe a front brake

Looks like a Worksman front brake drum to me.

Do people really get anywhere near $3500 for s a bike like this?  My feeling is that most of these clone motor conversion bikes are worth closer to $2000, even when well  done.

But , agreed , non originals 'should' bring less .

Yea you know if I got that bike I would gut it and build something close to original in there.
