Is it just me, or does the angle of your swingarm look pretty steep  ?

Get on with a video clip of it, please :D

the Kat shock makes a big difference when riding two-up the stocker would bottom out and now the Kat shock only goes down maybe a 1/4 inch when riding two-up.

I'll be honest, it looks a little rough. But you got the right stuff going. I'd paint it with some black high-temp paint and maybe weld/polish some of the rough corners. But it's a great start and has a huge amount of potential, esp. overs tock  :thumb:

I think it looks pretty odd man , i mean , Underseat sweet, but not halfway between that and stock.. but then its not my bike , good effort in the design process :thumb:

Very interesting.. I didn't know it could be done just like that... Did the sound changed a bit after the mod?

Mmm.. Very interesting indeed...  :icon_twisted:
