Two Wheels Better

She's about a roller.
I'm putting her together loosely...see how it all fits, then stripping it back for paint, powdercoat and fine detail. The K1200RS 5X17 rear wheel clears the Paralever swingarm using the stock 2mm spacer with about 3 or 4mm to spare - plenty. The 170mm Metzeler ME880 on the rim is just there to move the bike about. A set of Pirelli Diablo Rosso II are waiting in the wings. They are sizes 120/60ZR17 and 170/60ZR17. The bike sits low and the riding position feels neutral, with just a slight lean forward. The rear shockie I'm having made will be length-adjustable. The front mudguard will be trimmed and slimmed and painted not red. Sorry, Blakey!
Here, in the red oval, the frame will be cut and lifted, then tapered to suit the (BMW F800S) seat's shape. At the front the seat will be shaped to fit up against the back of the tank and wrap around it as well, just so.
