    Initially it looks to have been well done if you only consider the shiny bits but the things I don't like...

    1. 'L' forks just look wrong.

    2. The seat base 'fits where it hits.'

    3. At least 3 different paint finishes on the engine.

    4. Bent gear shift rod.

    5. That is one nasty exhaust.

    6. Price.

      Mostly kinda nice.
      Nothing done for the engine; “engine has been inspected for proper working conditions, and painted”.
      I hate the megaphones, loud, plus they dump on your boots. Set backs are set back to the passenger pegs.
      WTF??? “Darburetors have been rebuilt and rejected.”, “OEM Nissan”????
      Bad spelling kinda says, didn't learn much in school, or since. Like, who gonna buy it for that price?

        I guess Nissan's black paint is somehow different from everybody elses paint. Can only be ridden in cold weather due to the high temps your feet will become.

        As far as the spelling goes, I guess this is what happens when you post from your phone and don't see the squiggly lines under the misspelled words.

          Has a new aftermarket speedo that shows it been ridden for less than 1 km. Maybe that’s because he roasted his legs with those exhausts in less than 1 km.

            Not too shabby (for a shaft), but $10k?!? More like $2k.

            I guess he sold the battery so he could afford those rear shocks.

              Not my seat, not my auction, no affiliations. I'm only passing this along, because wow... I mean, just look at that seat.

                      Don't laugh. I work for a company that makes aircraft seats for the crew (captain's and co) and most all have sheepskin seating surfaces. Maybe Tkent will chime in with his experiences regarding comfort but I believe there is a reason aircraft seats are made that way.

                          I saw it and thought, "Wow, in theory this guy could get into a wreck on his bike AND get ran over by his own car at the SAME TIME."
