looking good pete, one question, does the bike seem to increase in ride height and "hop" when hard on the gas out of corners?
you have some serious amounts of swingarm angle going on there, just wondering if it affects your handling?
cheers.joe.

The angle doesn't look much different to the Triumph or Thunderace in the pics.
Bars and risers look heaps better Pete.. whats with your helmet? is that a cover? looks cool.
there called helmet skins got em on ebay $20
nah i was looking at the line between the swingarm axle and the rear wheel axle... but if pete says its fine, thats all that matters. for my eyes it looks like a lot of angle in the 2nd last pic. but that could be the angle of the photo too?
cheers.joe.
joe,the rear shock came from an 09 gixer 1000,it did lift the bike a fair bit from the soggy bum that it had,but i havent had any wobbles,i came outta coffs yesterday up hill 75k sweeper going a little faster then i should have in 3rd and i was fairly laid over,and it felt goodQuote:

Those bars finish off the bike nicely Pete
