I like the way it is. Are yopu going to install strut mounts or just leave the way you are doing it now?

I took a second look after reading everyone's response and I agree with those that said rotate it back and cut a different radius on it. I didn't notice it at first, but something looks strange to me seeing the tire between the swingarm and fender. Sort of splitting hairs I guess, because you do have one hell of a good looking bike either way.

Couldn't roll it down closer to the swing arm. The curve of the fender wouldn't come close for me to be able to screw the seat down. As it is i have to put a knee into it to push it down.

Not bad man.
A smaller seat might look a little better with it maybe a bare bones or something.

That will work bro. Looking good. Once you have it painted and seat tacked down all the lines will flow. I would suggest removing and taping off the air cleaner and hitting that center section with a black rattle can. Then throw some chrome screws in. Either way bro I like where your headed.
