???...Nope...where did you find it... ???
Check out the forward controls - at least the shifter.

Where's my black felt pin, I need to black-out those rims
It's a picture from the german sites gallery. I'm trying to figure out:
1. Where he stashed the battery
2. What kind of lights those are on the rear
By the end of next summer, I'm hoping to have my bike chopped similar to this one, except, I'm going to use the stock seat. I was going to use the stock tail lights, but after taking a look at the frame, and inner fender today, I don't feel like getting into that. If I find a different set of tail lights that will work, I could almost do this with a dremel tool ;)

2. What kind of lights those are on the rear...Have a look at your local bike wreckers yard(s), these lights are off older Yam's, Honda's, etc.
Personally, I would shorten the rear fender by at least a half.

I'd shop that rear fender in half and mount it to the swing arm and make it closer to the rear tire..
Here's what I kind of have in mind. I'm still tossing around the idea of stock tail lights or not.

that bike is in germany, or possibly denmark, either way ,, need a good mind to reteach your foot to shift,,, that puppy shifts in reverse,, linkage is reversed ! need to really enlarge to see that
as fir your own sketch out,,, that will work,,, but for sure>> ,,, shorten rear fender ,so that it ends directly above the tip of exhaust- that will keep it from bending into tire if for some reason you tap something while backing it up (been there, done it on my triumph ).
I'm pretty careful when I'm backing up. I want it that long so i'm not throwing road grime up on myself at low speed. I ride in whatever weather God decides to give me that day.
I like the scetch. If I sent you a picture of my bike could you play with some stipes on mine .I'd like to put gold strips on mine but not sure quite where(not like stock though) got a couple ideas but would like to see first which I like best.....or you could tell me how to do
You might contact an ROV member Odium. He made that sketch in MS Paint by cutting and pasting an old stock sketch. You could print out the picture and fool around with schemes by hand possibly. I usually just draw a sketch of the bike by hand and but printing it out would probably be a lot easier.
lol,, bass,,,, if you cut the rear fender even with the tip of pipes, you would have to ride on very end of a luggage rack to even know it was tossing mud!!!
my triumph only has a 6 inch long hugger on rear tire, but it doesnt get chain oil on my white t-shirts
a long rear fender will make a on hand bike look like it isnt finished, sort of stopped in middle of design ,,, cut it back a bit, then ride like you stole it my 2 pennies
better idea, try it long ,if it doesnt look right, take it off, cut it back 4 inches and try it again
you ride in a Tshirt Kia? tisk tisk...

My thinking exactly. Better to be too long than too be too short is what I've always heard. :o
