man the color fried my monitor I believe ! - there's a lot of work on that bike,bob'd,seat mount is real interesting,  - forward controls, a bit of stainless braid, but one thing is for sure - if there are no baffles in the exhaust - I bet you can here it and see it!

All that work and he/she still hasn't fixed the head seal/plug leak.  I do like a good ratbike though.  I don't care for the color; black and olive drab would've been better.  However, that must get cagers' attention pretty well.

Love it.
Looks like someone took an hippy bike and added army surplus bike parts.
Colours aside, love that minimalist bobber look.

It reminds me of the Johnny Cash song," I Got It One Piece At A Time, And It Didn't Cost Me A Dime".

Can't say it's my kind of bike but I can see why some people might like it. Surely is visible.

Painting the fender stays a different colour than the fenders is tacky. His use of orange paint is acceptable except on the hub and drive pulley. His second colour of drap military olive green is disparaging buffoonery. I don't actually accept this as a dress colour,  nor does the military which is why they invented this covering. The olive and orange was surely done to seek attention because I'm sure no proper custom has ever used this colour combination with any legitimacy.
Inverting a set of standard forks looks spindly and probably handles badly. The cut off exhaust can looks to be from a tractor. You know if he had just painted it one colour I would appreciate this attempt for what it is...a rat bike, but that colour combination leaves the whole project and me in contempt.

LOL Bentwheel ... I can really appreciate comments, as my natural asthetic bent is towards an m/c that looks "right" ... however as I've gotten older I've come to discover there is a kind of beauty in what others might consider ugly (comes from lookin' in the mirror and watchin' myself age ;)) ... yeah, that Bike screams UGLY ... but there's something beautifully gutsy about it ... the beauty of not being caught up in "image" and marchin' to one's own drummer!
That's part of what owning a Savage ... and certainly any Rat Bike is all about!

LOL!  That bike is like fingernails on a chalkboard or glass coke bottles comin' out of a styrofoam ice-chest.

About colors.

I think he/she just had 2 cans of paint left over .
One army surplus and the orange from whatever.

BTW the licenseplate looks to be German.
