Is that a highly customized Rune? The tank and hidden rear shock make it seem so.

That bike is just what my friend told me a bike's life was supposed to be. Buy it, modify it until it is unrideable , and then sell it and repeat.
looks nice though.

Doesn’t look like an 1800. Appears to be a Valkyrie frame. Goldwing swingarm conversion? |

Looks cool. Nice work. Don't want one.
He ever hits a bump big enough to leave the seat and get driven down between the seat and rear tire, his junk will get a good buffing. Assuming he rides it.
And real low bars, long reach, bent over all day. Maybe he's 6'4".

It has a mono-shock. Why would he (or she) be bounced off the seat? Do we hit bumps like that? I don't. |

I'd give it a spin! It would make a pretty cool around town bike but nothing I’d ride for a few hours straight. |

The Valk I bobbed is not anything close to custom as that one, but the rider position is the same. It's a ton of fun to ride, for about 2-3 hours, then it's time to head home. I didn't change anything that couldn't be restored, in case any owner down the road would prefer a standard or tourer. That bike looks great. |
