only suggestion I would make right up front is that the front wheel has no way of turning. No axle. And perhaps a little more clearance (not much) between the front tire and the fender. Other than that, nice machine.

oh, hell, just read your post a little better... so you knew about the axle... ok.. so how does it stay on?

Like a roller coaster wheel? Looks nice, as per your usual stuffage! 8^) Marque

Sweet concept. Air cooled? I thought there were problems with that type of drive, due to shock from bad road conditions and normal street debris? Regardless, I'd like to see a machine like that in production. Very swoopy.

I would think maybe not use the chain drive and go with a a shaft. also maybe extenting the seat for a rider. poser babes would love to ride or be driven. also maybe a wicked looking side car?. as is it looks great I know I could seriously use this this with the story I'm doing. I need futurisic bikes.

You should definately look at West Coast Choppers for ideas on color schemes! Jesse James builds some seriously amazing choppers much like the one you've built... and the paint jobs on some of them are fantastic!
Flames... this bike clearly needs flames incorporated in the paint job!

PSSSS Igohigh. Have you recognised the motor-styling.

lalverson, since the wheel is supported, or "cradled" by the rim, I think the belt drive is required for this type of wheel suspension. A drive shaft would require a central axis to turn the wheel. Correct me if I'm wrong, sharkey

I think it need to be nail polish red.
