Leave it to one of the Ness’s to think up the idea to put wheel spokes outside the rim and hub. I hope people notice how much more custom work was required to get those wheels to fit within the rear section of a frame and the front-end. Plus, the front-end curves on the bike appear identical to the curvature of the spokes — curved frame structures are far more difficult to build with than straight tubes. The frame is another marvel, with a Softail style rear suspension configuration and those super skinny tubes it looks great with what I’m guessing to be a hidden shock or spring /headlight shroud girder front-end. -Greg Friend, West Coast Editor
The front-end of this bike is the most interesting to me. The semi-flush headlight integrated into the cool Ness girder front-end is quite creative. Does the headlight actually shine over that front tire? Shown in the picture above — Cory’s got to be smiling about the wheels on this bike. They are outrageously cool! Any chance you guys are going to be putting those into production? The retro feel of this bike is all tied up with the Panhead kick-start motor. Too much chrome for me for the retro feel, though. And, not so sure about the style of the exhaust. I prefer the sound and fumes behind my face. -Penny Osiecki, Advertising Director
