Seriously uncomfortable looking.

Scrap that.... I think he'd be more concerned how he'd stop his nuts from getting mangled!

I seem to remember the write up on this, I like it. It's different, unlike the vast majority of "customised" SV's sporting an end-can, some stickers and a fender extender!
The front end looks very professionally done. IIRC it's a fairly young lad who made the tail thing, kudos for hiding the pointies excessive wiring and underseat gubbins, and for the weight saving. Seat needs more of a kick upwards at the back though.

It ain't a standard shock. I'm fairly sure for handling it would show a stock SV a clean pair of heels, what with the SV's undersprung, froth shock and squishtastic front forks.
Those tails just feel a bit wierd at first but so long as there's something behind to lean on then they're fine.
A hugger is a really good idea though!

It looks like my shock if I'm honest.

I like it that much, I've picked my favourite pictures and put them as a theme on my BB

No surprise, lots of shocks are made on the same castings and just valved and sprung differently, some with different length shafts too.

I really like it.. just put a small tail unit on it that doesn't look like crap.

(Not that big one with a seat, that looks rubbish... goldwing anyone? )
