Proportion.
It's what it all comes down to. Is that fender too high off the wheel? Is that hardtail section an inch too long... or too short? Are there brass taps and pinstriped nonsense where there should be delicacy and discretion?
Brett Gear gets it. These bikes sit right. He's in Australia, and we want to see some of his work in the mag soon.

Sporty has it all lined up for sure . . . now there's an idea for a tune . . .
You don't dig the Triumph? Only thing I don't like on it is the lettering on the tank... otherwise perfect!
no fabrication how did he build the bike ? did it all bolt on there if so its all new to me ;)
Not at all mate, the angle of the shot just ain't as conducive to showing it all as nicely as the sporty . . . plus I'm having a full sporty fixation currently, need to slap ma sef !!!
Down and Out, of course there's fabrication. I said "a custom bike's success aesthetically depends on lines, not fabrication".
In other words, all the nice welds and clever doodads in the world won't save a bike that is too long, short, tall or has lines that jar the eye.
I see it every day.
i get it now mate ;)
