I don`t like it,seems that it was important to use parts from different bike`s as much as possible.
Have no doubt about the technical skills of the builder.Gracias but No gracias |

Yep, no consistent theme there - looks like something ctluba might build if he had an unlimited budget

But it has a turbo! Controlled by a hot water valve? |

I agree with the assessment of the "theme" of the build. It's all over the place.
However, the lines of the bike aren't horrible for what it is..Many guys do way worse these days, and seem proud of what they've done.
IMO, the vast majority of bobber bikes go horrible wrong. Cafe bikes can be sharp but many go Horribly wrong as well....
Seems that many don't understand that the DOHC "F" taillight is part of the look of the bike..Removing that signature tailight and keeping the F tail is where many go wrong right off the bat... |

All that work...and he leaves the front end just hanging.....it ruins what could be a hell of a machine.....
Nice circa 1987 Lee Iaccoca TURBO emblem too..... 
I bet it would be a hell of a ride!!!!

| After outfitting the head with stainless steel valves, high-performance valve springs and a modified cam, he moved on to install 8:1 high-compression MTC pistons. With that much compression, heavy-duty barrel studs and copper gaskets helped to keep the head attached tightly to the block. |
Unless he's running 50 pounds of boost, that isn't high compression. The other stuff is standard forced induction practice. Journalists are funny 
A modified cam can just be wider lobe centers for the turbo. 112-114 is common. There's so much weirdness there, I don't even have an opinion on the styling. |

Put a stock length tail and a different headlight, add a front fender and I think its sweet. |
