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.

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.
