Awesome! It looks mean and angry… and that headlight kinda gives it a bit of a ‘vintage’ type feel. But it still makes it look angry!

Actually Jeff your comment is incorrect according to the article, “Bingham cut the sub-frame apart and shortened it, and cleaned up any visible brackets. [He] welded a mount on the rear to hold a 1098 tail light—with integrated turn signals—and to mount the license plate. The seat is a hand made one-off. The exhaust was created from thin-walled stainless tube, with a low-mounted 2-into-1. [He] made up a second mid-pipe to install it. Bingham stripped down the forks and individually coated them with an industrial ceramic coating developed for military firearms. Other parts done in [ceramic coating] were the inside covers of the…belt covers, the clutch pressure plate, and clutch cover. Bingham also powder coated the engine side covers in low gloss black, then ripped the Öhlins shock apart: he powder coated the body in low gloss black, and the spring in gloss black. Even the wheels are powder coated.” None of the above is simply bolted on or comes out of a spray can. If you don’t like the end result that is a valid conclusion to draw but how it got that way is of no consequence what so ever.

This is pretty much a bolt on and spray can customization, with a little seat cover work thrown in.
