For some reason your photos are all squished making the Wing look like an old 125 skinny dirt bike, which it clearly is not! Any idea why? I'm intrigued coz it looks way cool...

I like. Nice work. I'd love a shot of the twin carb linkage.

Needs a custom exhaust, and seat... Congratulations to you Wingers! I could not have did it without you and this board. These are great bikes!
