Not too sure about the boxed in swingarm, personally..... just aesthetics, it looks like it would work ok, although a sit's running slicks I haven't any experience of how it would handle the extra forces.

But the extended frame plates are nicely done, and it's just occurred to me that fitting plates like this would make it exceedingly easy to add mounting points for almost any rear subframe you might want.

I have a mate's GSXR750 in my garage and garden at the moment, and threw a tape measure on the mounting oints.
The top one fits fine, but the bottom one's too wide.

But with extended frame plates that wouldn't be a problem at all, just a small extension piece or maybe something like lightweight can hangers pointing backwaards to meet the lower mounting bolt holes.....

Still thinking, but I'm beginning to see a plan coming together...... :twisted:
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
