Yes ! Saved that pic in my pc gallery for reference.
I haven't seen a full side on pic of that one though.
They all look good from the 3/4 view.
That black spondon framed Z1R looks real nice 3/4 but side on the seat is too short.
Don't think you should have the back of the seat any further forward than the rear wheel spindle to keep some sense of proportion, but that's just my preference.
And what's the point of building something like that if it don't ride fast.
It just ends up being an expensive ornament.

These guys build a '82 GSX1100 also, and in the same way. The buyer wanted to race it (and did) but had to rebuild the whole front and back side, because it handled like sh*t... :cry:

Bottom line: he bought a bike which could not be raced on for a lot of $$ and than had to spend even more $$ to ride it at last... :oops:

(I talked to this friendly man at Spa last summer, but he seemed happy to me anyway...)

and (one of...) my own project:
