Default pics of new wheeels and rk shocks w 250 tire

had the tire kit for over a year but just put on these pro one wheels on w the 12" rk shocks and black v&h exhaust. Still have to do apes, speedo relocation and possibly paint the motor black. The one with the chrome was before. What you guys think?

Anyone knows why I can't look at the pictures attached? When I select them I get following error:

Any advise?

I think it's too tall in the back. The ride height on the "before" picture is much better. But that just my opinion.

Something's going on with the chassis height that doesn't look quite right. There's like 15 feet of air between the rear tire and fender from the looks of it. Can you find shocks to decrease that? Also, getting rid of the bitch seat would improve the looks. Neat project though!

Yea, it's just too tall in the rear. With a fat tire like that, it needs a slammed, low profile look. I'm sure those RK shocks are comfortable, but it just doesn't look good like that. And, yes, the seat doesn't seem to match it either.
To be 100% honest......the bike doesn't look "thought-out", it looks more like 2 or 3 different styles crammed together that don't match each other.

But that is all just my opinion, and all that matters is that you like it.
