looks good from this angle

tank looks huge from here,it has a nice shape so with some paint and stickers it should look ok!

welcome mate, thats very different, i like your ideas, anyone ever seen a supermoto style conversion, there have been blade fairings, single sided swing arms, maybe straight bars at the most, all sports bike/ naked style streetfighters, but this is really different.
