Lucien, nice bike, great lines…everyone all has a “style” per say they like wieither it is bobbers,choppers,cafe,bratstyle, etc,etc…..the D-bros frame is a quilty aftermarket frame for the at home builder…what “HARLEY” riders dont understand is that the new generation of builders use anything and everything for thier custom, ranging from car parts to parts from bmx bikes..the typical “harley” rider has this smug attitude that if is not black with flames with a sheild so on and so forth ..than it must be a peice of garbage…I also have a dropseat, not fro the detroit bros, which I plan on building next…but my build is using the ethly frame from leroy thompson..stil a dropseat with drags..lot of people dont get it still…people hated J-jame bike when they 1st came out…I bet they also didnt like B-lanes bikes either…for those who havent bulit a bike or even lifted a wrench to “fix” thier bike before than your comments really have no substance to it anyways…cheers everyone, now go ride

I’m kinda torn on the whole harley thing. doc’s right I would kick the jap to the curb for HD. the thing is that I feel is wrong is that harley riders love the fact that it’s made in america, rightly so! It’s assembled in the USA using more japanese parts on thier models nowadays than ever before. therefore, technically not really american made! not 100% USA, which HD wants you to believe. I built a custom just like luciens build, I think that we started at the same time, you can check out my build on detroit brothers forums under members builds, blkcat 3113 build called urban warfare. it’s not a bad ride and i’m not a tall guy. I don’t have a problem with the dropseat at all. as far as HD is concerned, I would still buy one minus the bullshit harley atttitudes.

perk, Not sure if I should dignify your comments with a response, but the design of the featured bike is a bit radical. To each his own. Your criticism of HD was a bit harsh, however. There is a simple reason HD keeps producing similar variations of a theme: people like, and pay for these rides. I don’t know of one metric rider who wouldn’t trade anything they ride for a Harley. Most of these guys do everthing they can to get their bikes to look and sound like Harleys. In the end, the choice is yours. If you don’t like them, don’t buy or ride them. Those of us who are lucky enough to own them, and those who aspire to own them, would prefer not to here your bitter opinions on these great bikes.

That’s one of the worst looking bikes I’ve ever seen.

Kyle, I’m 6’4″ and it’s a gooseneck frame. Not sure what you mean by short legs? It has forward controls. Link to a pic with me on it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/luciendesign/2825060640/in/set-72157607087468916/ I’d like to see a bike that you built, then I can talk shit about all your hard work. I think the purpose of bike building is the builders prerogative. This bike was actually a ton of fun to ride, I didn’t build it for a cross country tour. It’s not everyones cup of tea. If you don’t like it.. I’m sure Harley has a nice bike in their showroom you can go make payments on.. I’m sure you can even get a matching leather jacket, maybe even a blue tooth helmet.
