      Looks like the tread gaps have been colored in, I've seen it done before. Looks stupid to me... Pipe makes me cringe too.

        Most of it is cool, for an L anyway, but that chopped off rear fender looks ridiculous.

        Make it long enough to top rocks from hitting the back of your head, paint it match the front, hang some cool looking retro taillight on there and it's a nice bike.

          That's the first nice thing I've ever known you to say about an L.

            Because it is no longer a L model.

              Sure it is, an L put to a useful purpose is a beautiful thing.
              Like welding practice, cut it up make little pieces to brace a frame on a real bike, low rent housing for mice, engine donors, planter boxes and yes, even cool little cafe racer wannabees are all good purposes for the lowly L.

                    True there. He's going for the Big Hero 7 look.
