That is the Storz performance tank and tail. If you consider the fact that the tank is alloy it's a decent enough deal but the shape just doesn't do it for me.

Default Cafe/Bobber

Very cool rear fender. Did you make that from scratch or modify an existing?

like the seat a lot would have been great if you could have had your lights integrated in the back of it.
I would give the clip ons a miss whilst you have forwrad controls.
Just one question why did you lower the back rather than raise it?
good work..

^^^looks a bit more like a street tracker with that rear section but cool as hell nonetheless. this thing is killer....

got some potential there but you need some clip ons for that thing and 2-1 exhaust to set it off bro! nice job with that tail section man, so rad!
