    Yeah they are street legal.

    For $650k I'd go to Geiser Bros and a Quadcab one built like the Riot truck. Or I'd buy a TT and a FJ and a Taco lol

    500-750k is the normal going rate for high-end luxery prerunners. They are TTs with the inside that looks like a damn Benz in there. A TT runs around 350-650k and those don't have as much inside work into them. I'll post some pictures when I get back to my office from lunch.

    You mean if, my Company built these for customers on a "regular" basis?

    Everything is "one-off-custom" but this is what they do. I would estimate everything is marked up at least double what it cost them to produce. That may be what they need to do stay in business though.

    It would be interesting to see a spread sheet of everything that goes in to them.

    Hey mike, I have never built something like before. lol Never had the request for one so I'd have no idea how much something like that would run. Right now I'm only working on Bottle Cap Head badges, Valve caps and Beer can Headlights. so I have samples to give to bike shops. I may be doing a bike for a local sports bar here soon.
