Actually I think the fake cylinder heads look much nicer than my battery
box. I wouldn't mind having something like that on my bike.

Not at all impressed.
Also, this bike, and the CHP electric chopper
(http://www.bikernet.com/bikebarn/PageViewer.asp?PageID=583) seem to have a
need for a fake motor, or at least cylinder heads. Why is that? The CHP
article even calls it an "Electric V-Twin," which is ridiculous, as the
V-Twin refers to the piston engine layout. Do they really think people are
so stupid that they'll either: A) Think that it's some kind of electric
piston, or B) won't consider it a real bike without cylinder heads, despite
_knowing_ it's electric? Of course, then there's the gas tank ...
Of course, noone ever accused the custom chopper guys of having substance
over style.

I'm not terribly impressed with the looks of that. Any one else? It looks
to me like they tossed some batteries in the frame then wrapped them with
a bread box. Ness usually comes up with better looking stuff than that.
