Quote from: Desert Dust on December 29, 2013, 12:22:45 PMWhy did they mount the rectifier to the lower head? Because there is no room under the seat, or to lower the center of gravity?

What seat? All I see is a bit of foam to protect the plastic from those pesky leathers riders wear...

The bronze'ish paint and all the flailing, shiny bits make it look steampunk, to be ridden wearing a derby.

I like these bikes because they are all about function.
