How about concentrating on finishing the current build? Tongue

one of the things I appreciate about Rolands designs/creations is that they are rideable in real world situations and have (IMHO) necessary upgrades like real front brakes and a decent feeling front end and still steerable.....I remember a video from a couple months back of the RSD crew riding a bunch of their bikes in an aquaduct in L.A. and jumping a stream in there....

He put the swingarm open on the wrong side. I never thought it made any sense having it set up like that on the left side of the bike.

When the bike leans over on the stand it leans over to the left side and masks the SSSA. America drives on the right side of the road, the wheel is open on the left, the casual observer may not get the full effect especially for something that is one off custom. It just does seem natural, it doesn't "flow" for me. I dont know why, it just bothers me when I see it like that on bikes, BMWs too.
