Needs a rear fender. Aside from that I vote resurrection. Frankenstein would mean it is pieced together with parts from different bikes.

Res.or Frank
I'm gonna say frankenstein , based on the rear drum brake,.. But I'd be proud to have that beast in my garage. Looks like a sweet scooter! The frame,..instrument cluster, & front disc set-up look newish.

@Psychopath, I agree on the rear fender. Even a hugger would help to balance out the cut-off appearance.

Yeah, needs a fender. That tire would give you a real butt chewing.
Like that video someone posted once of the woman who got caught in there. Bet she's still hurting. Other than that it's kind of cool. Looks easy to wash too.

Looks like a tractor to me. Might be useful around a farm.

Not entirely sure, but it looks like it may have a hugger type fender in the back chopped flush with the back of the seat.
I think it needs something aft of the seat to balance the look. Or even a bit longer seat. That said, I think it is a hell of a nice bike. Gerry |

Sorry, it just doesn't do it for me - some of the later custom trends just look unfinished to me (but I'm old, and stuck in the mud). I still prefer the more traditional cafe racer style.

the straight pipe with the baloney cut will hopefully be so loud you wouldn't be able to hear the whine noise from those tires.
but it has that "i'm still looking for a rear fender to finish it off" look.

Just add a little fakie subframe and slap a hodaka fender to that and it should look good. I kind of like this stuff, especially if it was a basket case bike. It's a great form of recycling.
Be safe, Lane
