What a plank ? :pmsl
Thank god the editor of PB doesnt have your dated,obsolete taste in style, as they have just approached me yet again about another article on my latest bike build. Ichiro Yoda also sent a nice email with some flattering comments.
When you have finished designing your rear brake disc you may want to create a more marketable or unique style in bodywork to make your own bikes more individual ? Anyway let me just read through this 'epic' post on 'brake bodging' so i can learn a 'trick' or two on safe bike maintainance.

We have a new cargo shocking :pmsl not quite brake bodging, just greasing the pistons but designed for new riders, not for experienced riders/ mechanics such as yourself, and the plank would allow the angle to be easily calculated

Everyone has the own tastes but i think Rmkd build some of the best looking and best set up bikes they speak for them selfs. But you can't please everyone there's always haters

Not a hater, just not my taste, and not exactly outdated when most if not all motogp, wsb and 1000cc superbikes don't have the upward angled seat unit

When on a rear paddock stand, this angle of the seat unit looks very similar to that of the RMKD bike.
Fooled by the perspective?

Is this yours? Looks fookin great, since you are all arguing about angles :pmsl I personally love the can and tail unit sitting parallel.

The great ZXR angle and aesthetics debate, whatever next, and why has no one asked "if my bum looks big in this???"

:smt017 - unless your talking about needing to shorten the length of visible cable on the clutch side of the wire? which does need doing, but having less cryptic messages would be better...

the bike cost £250...i wasnt expecting a lot, yes it needs a clean, but what with 4 bikes on the go, 70 hours a week at work, and having to donate stem cells last week to a lady with leukemia ive been a little pre-occupied...

also, lets stop hijacking this guys build thread maybe?
