    Hmmmm...now that you mention it I see the forks. Doesn't that mess with the trail?

    Seems like that would make it a little twitchy in the front end.

          Here's mine. Not the best pictures in the world, but I hope to finish the repaint job before summer (fairing and the lid of the tailtrunk need done, and the tank needs redone and coated with two part clear).

                The link doesn't work either. Do you have a photobucket account?

                  Facebook photo links often don't work for those who are not on facebook and your friends. It's best for public photos to get a photobucket account and put the photos you want to share with those not on facebook on there and link them from there.
