some people have strange ideas of what constitutes handling... what would you like? quicker turn in? more grip? neutral force's on the bar when leant over?

when i was hammerite'ing my cbr's frame, i put my swingarm in an old starlet with the windows closed, came out fantastic, pity the frame wouldn't fit. swingarm looked even better with lacquer, frame got worse.

face the vents backwards? if air can exit faster then it can get in the low air pressure will cool it better then just funnelling more air in.

^ whs and pop the exhaust off and check the piston. no idea what you have, but it may have a fuel pump, perhaps incorrectly wired?

how about removing the bellows around the shock and finding a sliding metal cover? that would clean the back and you could make a weird shape exhaust to cover up the lower linkages as well.

whats the point in a hard tail like that? i can understand the nice lines of a hardtailed 'merican vtwin with a large transmission, a swingarm hanging off the end of that looks all wrong, hence the softail.
if your building from the ground up, a hard is slim unfussy and pretty.
if you are just removing nicely working suspension and only putting in a rigid swingarm? it wont look any different, but the wheel won't go up and down?

looks the biz, keeping the inboard brakes? use some tasty anodised 50mm upside downers to suspend it.
