Very nice. One of the few less than full fairing MOD's I like.
Tell us about the swing arm.. I see more going on than just a grafted brace.
Which exhaust system is that? Almost looks like OEM cans using high mount Mid pipes?

Like a lot, and the way you've shown the engine off with the trimmed fairing and moved rad, though now must be a hassle to change the front spark plug.
Is that a vent on the rear cowl to keep the R/R some fresh air?
What fork brace have you fitted?

Swingarm is just a stocker with a 97 900RR brace grafted on, blasted, powdercoated and new bearings.
The underslung rear caliper is a modded standard caliper mount with a new plate attached to reverse it.
I haven't noticed any damage from road debris on the rear brake line so no.
I've found that I don't check the plugs that often, but even saying that, its no hassle at all to move the rad, 2 x bolts and a couple of hose connections.
Usually around the time I change out the coolant anyhow.
Using a Coerce Front brace ( from Japan )
The cutout on the rear cowl is for fresh air to the R/R but it will eventually have the same cutout on the other side for when I shoehorn a radiator under the seat.
The exhaust was on the bike when I bought it, but they are Staintunes, which is an Australian company that does all sorts of exhausts and they sound bloody good too.
