some very nifty ideas in use here, good concept so far but...

ARRRRGH at the subframe extending out under the tail bent out to support the tail. ffs just cut and bend from the base, not the end - it's still going to take forces in the same directions it wont make any difference except it looks crap bent out like that! (unless you plan on mounting exhausts off it like a hanger or something, i dont know) seriously the 2nd gs fighter ive seen make that mistake, please, PLEASE sort it out - it'd look superb otherwise!

oh and also maybe consider finding something that'll work as a cover plate between the tail and tank? not sure how that'd work, but thought i'd throw it in as a possible suggestion.

but definately sort the damn frame!

sorry if i seem too negetive here, i think youve got a great thing going on all else otherwise, litterally if you had that sorted, and maybe tarted up the headlight a little, you'd be spot on for a perfect job  :icon_mrgreen:

Dang, as far as the rear tire goes I see what you did but man dont you think its dangerous running the brake without its brace? I am going to do the same thin as far as putting a 180 rear tire but I am just going to notch the brace because thats all that it really needs. Do you have any type of brace for the undermount? Is it a ladybird by chance?
