Nope, they're in business to sell clothes. Huh

Seriously though, I bet they make a bunch more money off clothes than they do bikes. Roll Eyes

I agree, that is what the old XLCR should have looked like.

One thing I'd want to correct is the footpegs, still much too far forward.

As for the paint schmeme, well, ok, the guy must come from Liberia or the Congo or whatever... Tongue

AND

you may have noticed the fairing comes from a 1970s Ducati... Cheesy

Yea, With the bars that low, it might be a bit of a knee cramp situation. But..... that's where the regular Sportster's have their mid-control foot pegs. I have my originals in a box in the garage.
