trust me it was ugly..... but after some wheeling and dealing I swapped a complete roller for a one-off, of my own design, here is a mock up to get an idea of what it will be

| Who did the rake job, looks factory. Any closeups? Did you just notch back the back bone, or extend the down tubes?

the backbone has 1.5 inch taken out of it. the forks are stock length
makes the forks look longer..... simple illusion
Hence the insistence of a tank not fitting..... and rather than a bolt on sporty,wassel,peanut, ect. I opted for a full one off custom.....
