Looks great!
I'd love one set up like that.

Couldn't really see the angle of the driveshaft.
Does it seem to be in a comfortable neutral position for the u joints?

It sure is. I didn't max it out, just left the right amount for upward shock travel lol. I lifted one before and never had a problem in the 2 years I rode it

Yes the pipes are welded on front. For the rear I just raised the bottom shock mount

Rides exactly the same ( 1.5" spacers in rear) but it sure does feel cool sitting that high on the old girl. Rear wheels are 12" Honda rims off a scrapped fourtrax

Back was about 2.5" and front was around 5" since I stuck with the 25" tire

how did you come up with the geometry ? seems like it would feel like your going up hill while on the flat ? from original = just asking ? i know the rake has to be concidered... ?

the more i look at it the more i think about it as a 'big boy' bike lol i always feel kind silly riding around on the 350x and 250sx bikes because the feel small under me and im only 6' tall
