Alright! It's great to see pics of bikes with their riders aboard. Gives a bit more perspective, sense of scale sort of thing. She look pretty stretched out there... nice looking bike.

I would not suffer from saddle sores on my butt. Looks like seating is more scrotum centered. I'm sure she's enjoying the ride more than I would.

She looks to be short and stocky, seeing as the sportster is a smaller bike like the thumper is....
Someone of say my stature, 5' 10" would fit nicely in that saddle.

Laid out flat, after someone walks on my back, I'm five foot six, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. And I can't picture being comfortable on it. I Do give the girl Props,
And it's a good looking bike.
If I was taller and stronger and richer, I might get excited about it.

Well that's nice, both bike and rider. Looks like there is more room in the seat for bigger framed riders.
She has a nice pair of goggles.

I can get into some goggle oggling.
Is the chain some kinda statement I should know what means?

Some bikers like to wear wallets that are chained to their belts of belt loop to lessen the risk of loosing said wallet at say 110 on some really fast and tasty road, some just wear them to look the part
My solution is a front pocket mini wallet

The build was a lot more involved than I thought it would of been. Just shows that any custom work takes three times as long and twice as much as budgeted.

The bikes fine, but, id like to sit down and have a beer with that gal and probably lose a game of pool.

Good looking gal and best looking HD Cafe' bike I have ever seen.
Why are her goggles on her helmet....and not over her eyes?
I think they got the wheels wrong in the specs on the bike..they claim it is a 16" slotted chrome disc wheel in the back and a 21" front wheel - they both look like spoked wheels to me, and are probably 18" diameter.

Dave, that was describing the source bike, the 1200C.
This has 18" Akront rims.

Goggles are an accessory, man. They don't look as cool on the face as they do on the lid. She has perfectly serviceable D&G sunnies for eye protection
. Seriously, I do the same thing
. I like em better up there and wear sunnies. Plus, they help stop my LAPD shorty lifting up when I'm pushing on.
