I'm gonna be a

and say I think the fork legs are too close together. Looks like the front tire would be rubbing the inside of the fork leg. Or, at least you'd never get the wheel off past the lower flare of the female slider of the fork leg.

That guy should get back to the computer and make it right! :o

I believe you're right, though of course I haven't seen that clearance in the real bike it's hard for me to believe that that clearance would be as tight as it appears in the renditions.

He may have lacked a front-fender-off picture or one giving him a good angle for judging clearance between the front tire and the forks.

Ultimately, it's awesome that he got the degree of 3D accuracy that he did working from inherently 2D pictures. That takes talent, but with more than one possible 3D wireframe that will map onto a given picture, when lacking sufficient multiple-angle views of something --e.g. the front end without the fender -- one could make a wrong guess that does overlay a given picture but in fact doesn't match three-dimensionally. Just inherent to what's being done.

Or, let's play a game and assume the possibility his rendition is correct in that dimension: if so, you're going to have to be damn careful that replacement front tires aren't the TINIEST bit wider than stock! Not the tiniest! (Never known an actual bike that was so tight in that clearance though.)

Really cool stuff to look at.

The mid-pipe clamp on the exhaust system collector is in the wrong place (pictures 3 & 8). Slots are showing. The clamp should actually be covering mid to front portion of the slots.
When you look closely at picture 8, it simply looks like it is put on without any detail. It's just sitting there. Ok, way, way picky on my part. But that's what exhaust guys look at.....

Well k bryant, I'll have to take your word on that but hey, shows competence that you'd notice that!

Trenance, yeah, he did a great job. I was just bored at work and being an asshat and figured he'd never see the site anyway. I didn't check the link but it sounds like he's not really a motorcycle guy and just had some photos. Given that, he did an amazing job. Maybe he'll be working for Lucasfilm one day?

The gray is interesting though. Does that show something? Detail? Like the bouncing ball demo was used 15 years ago on C64s and Amigas?
