Looks like you've found a way to keep busy with your bike in the winters.

Thats very interesting the way you lightened and pivoted up the ass end. I was trying to think what other purpose that might have and realized that if your that good you should come up with the first under the seat air lift system with a seat extension able to pivot up or down with the press of a button.

Are you serious, or just messing with me

The reason to cut the frame was to get the look I want.

Oh I honest thought you were trying to reduce wight or improve handling. The part about the air seat was a pun and yet if there were an adjuster it would allow you to fine tune the ride position using some threaded bolts to raise or lower it. As far as looks go my immediate impression is it gives it a much more athletic look. Sort of like a body builder with no ass, putting more emphasis on the engine for sure. The million dollar question is how it will affect the geometry of the rider with respect to balance and handling. If it works well and there is an added weight drop, it could be an overall improvement.

Actually I can´t tell if there was a difference in handling between the first and second version. With the latest modification I can get the seat height a bit lower.
