      Looks like he hit a parked car, with it.

      Some will remove rake as part of making a "bobber" out of a bike but I doubt, that this is the case with this poorly build POS.

          Parked car, that's a race he could have won... if he didn't hit the car.
          I bet on impact the pointy end of that seat way way past where the sun don't shine.

            Slightly Extended Forks



            Why bother to change the rake when putting on longer forks. Just make the chassis taller!

                    That front tire was almost over its weight capacity with the stock bike (might have been a GoldWing), I shudder to think how much it's overloaded now.

                        I have not heard of any failures, but I do know that the reserve load rating isn't much more than what the bike would put on it.

                          It definitely looks like a Honda Comstar wheel, which was used on a number of models, from the small twins up to the Gold Wing. Regardless, there's just too much weight on only one wheel that is riveted together.
