Hmmm....have to agree with the comments about the swingarm. I'm just looking at it on the front cover of MCN and the swing arm looks almost like it could be a scooter engine

From the same front cover shot the exhausts look pretty awful too, almost as if they're stuck on as an afterthought - they certainly don't look nicely integrated with the tail unit. They look a bit cack on pages 2 & 3 as well, again, they almost look as if they're made for a different bike althogether and what's with putting the exhaust outlets at an angle like that? If the angle of the exhaust outlets mirrored the shape of the tail or something I could go with that, but at the moment they just look wrong....Ahhhh....I get it...the DP exhausts will probably look just right
