I do, and yet that's what I'm struggling with. I'm not looking for a modern sport-bike approach to the rear seat. I've toyed with the idea of chopping that frame section to allow for variation on the angle. that's also the reason for the black out on the lower rear of the tank to artificially create that visual to the eye.
One other thing to keep in mind when looking at those pics....the bike is on the center stand which raises the rear wheel/angle about 2 to 3 inches.
One other thing visually is that the bike is very well endowed at the tank. The rear end needs to be equally plump so as to have some symmetry.
