The Sporty frame hardheaded has a much cleaner look than the Honda, and you have options on the rear with the fender struts..
The Shovel, note the frame dips and breaks line under the seat. It looks a lot like a Ness frame, but that is where it loses it. The bike is stretched and long already, had they taken a few inches off the front and put it to the back, I think it would look better, like the Ness frames did. Ness used a fairly tall axle plate, it helped pull off the look, and the way the frame rails ended just past the axle plates was tasty.. his 750 frames were pretty slick looking..pretty hard to find one now..
Enjoying the discussion, but have to head out and work a bit...
