The Japs seem to like their bikes long and low - which I do like - but I want to do this one as 'pert' as possible without going silly and making it look like a motard. As such, I am just slightly exaggerating the original Z styling cues. The tail is kicked higher, the rear ride height a little higher....and these photos show the clocks raised and tipped back with the headlight raised to follow it. If it doesn't look right I can always drop it down again. (It looked good on one I did years and years ago)
The down side of this particular tweak though is that it is going to make the bars look lower





The picture above also shows a peek of the old Raask rearsets which where seriously ugly. New ones seem to be really expensive so I have cut these ones right down and polished them up. I have buggered about with the linkages etc as well with a bit of cutting, grinding, polishing and a bit of anodizing and I reckon they might just look OK when finished.
