I took these yesterday. I made a lot of cosmetic improvements to the front end. Still have some cosmetic work to do, but it is looking less like something from the Road Warrior movie. I still need to find a longer kick stand. 5 pic album http://imgur.com/a/0AeOP

Maybe its because it has no rear fender, but is it really as long as it looks?

The swing arm is 4 inches longer than stock. Not real extreme, but it keeps the front end down. But ya not having a fender or tail piece makes it look long. I'm still trying to figure out what to do cosmetic wise. I want to put on one of those half fenders that mount to the swing arm like a crotch rocket. Then maybe a kawasaki or similar tail piece. That should balance it out. But I am open to suggestions.

don't want to be rude but the ground clearance seems really bad.

The ground clearance is fine. That is just the camera angle and the super short kick stand. I can't do deep leans, but the clearance is as good or better than a stock triple. Maybe some day I will be able to afford some custom pipes.
