Alright kids, the moment you have all been waiting for is finally here... The (almost) finished project, I still have some things to do, and I'm not sure I'm diggin' the paint, but it is on, secure, and very much functional. The lowering link is maxed out as high as it will go, so I need to get a stock link, but it rides so I'm still happy.. IT STILL NEEDS TO BE LIFTED IN THE REAR A LITTLE (3 inches or so) BEFORE I CAN CALL IT DONE

well, in my opinion, its too long and too close to the wheel. the lines are good with the subframe and all, but it looks like its engulfing the back tire somehow. perhaps try shortening it, and then maybe removing the tire hugger to make it look like more space? and did you say its not stock height?

Yes, it is lowered.. I need it at stock height or higher, but I need to buy the new part to do that, there is no more adjustment left in the lowering link.

I love how the hugger makes the swing arm look bigger so it has to stay. But I don't think it looks too long, my buddies R1 is the same way and I think it looks spot on.

Plus I wanna do a VTR swing arm swap on it too.. But I'm not sure what is going to happen just yet, I may be selling it. I got a $3200 offer today and I might just take it..

yes its just you. the picture of that r1 is a perfect example. the tail on the r1 is pointed up more. notice how your seat is pretty much flat. notice how the r1 seat is angled forward. also, notice how the tip of the r1 tail is above the gas tank. notice how yours is not. he also has no tire hugger, giving more space underneath though wouldnt look bad with one being it has a higher angle.
