I'm surprised how much of the stock frame he used. And the fact that he utilized the factory swingarm mounts. Clearly a longer belt. But, is that the stock drive pulley?

Guy shulda welded up a set of drag bars from a coupla old rifle barrels Wonder if it's got a versy cam chain adjuster. Those might be hard to get after the apocalypse.

I'm taken back to the days when I was so enthralled by the various rides available to me for a dime, just outside the grocery store. It felt dumb, then.

The rear pulley is sitting right next to a huge disc brake. The front pulley has been moved outward to align with the relocated rear pulley. I can't identify the source of the swing arm, rear wheel or front wheel.

I believe that the swingarm is custom fabricated. Look at the attachment point and follow that back to the wheel...that's an OEM swingarm hidden in there.

If that's the case here's my question; how does someone with that type of fabrication skills craft such an ugly bike?

He made one really grave mistake, when he loaded his ammo can & front fender with rounds, he grabbed the wrong box. None of them will fit his weapon, they are way too large. When he gets in a fire fight he's gonna be dead. Daaa ta daaa. Rest is pieces.

Oh, betcha the creator of this machine can be seen in the 2nd photo, just above the ammo can, black long sleeved shirt with white "something" on the back, and a POINTY hair "style" ... or ...

He's got dual exhausts; nicely made tank with gerry can handles on top so you can pick the bike up and take it with you if you run out of gas; a trip wire attached to the 2 grenades on the take for a nice "fire for effect", and what looks like a burning cigarette as a timer as back up; rear shock on the front forks; yep, nice touches.
