To me that is pure motorcycling right there...he or she built a bike to their vision from something else...in the end it does not matter what you ride, or how far you ride it. It just matters that you ride it and it makes you happy. I wouldn't pay $3k for that bike, but it is probably worth every penny. Think about the power and speed of your nighthawk, and now imagine if it was pulling around 75-100 pounds less. The rigid frame might be a tough ride, but that would be a great bar hopper/around town cruiser. Just two cents from a guy who built a bobber because he felt like it...
