I want to like it...but that tail is not straight, the numberplate hanger is awry and the reflector is just cheap and crappy looking.

A few small things that detract from it but they make all the difference.

Same as a classy bird or a chavvy slapper...both can look good, but the nice shoes, decent perfume and well applied make up means you know which one you'd prefer...

yeah, that reflector will be coming off, just couldnt be bothered last night as i worked my ass off to fit the tail unit. and i know the tail unit is not straight. and i looked everywhere for why it turned out like that. and i couldnt find the problem :\

A twisted subframe?

nope its not the subframe. its the actually tail unit. im guessing the pillion foot peg nuts... they are blocking the seat from sitting in properly.. so i need to cut a bit of the tail unit.

Fuck that, take the pegs off! Looks miles better without pegs too..and have you tried to seat anyone on that perch? I bet it is so very uncomfortable that there is no point having a pillion provision.

Think some of the lines are a bit off?

Told him twice now, he didn't pay any attention.

yep, the top line is a bit too vertical, and the first half of it is like that because there is a slope going down. the middle line and the bottom line almost start off at the same angle, but the middle line goes off to one side, because there is also another slope. i just followed the straight line i drew.. its all straight. but since they cross and go over slopes, it looks "off"

OK, maybe 'straight' is the wrong word. The lines aren't 'parallel' with eachother. Forget about the shape of the panels.
