Swing-arm choppers. Can they look good?

Love to lower this seat height and get rid of the scooter seat look.

Thin cobra seats look good on Sporties.

I think they can look very good. That being said, the purist in me (or maybe it is just the era I grew up in), says there is something ‘not-quite-100%-chopper’ about a swing arm.

I keep going back and forth on if I wanna hard tail or not. But I think it looks pretty good with the swingarm.

Thats a sweet machine, IMO (Which don't mean shit it's your bike) would be "not" hard tail.

It seems pretty nice in that distance shot.
Or maybe it's my old eyes.
Need my binoculars.

I posted this in the "look at my bike..." thread in the American forums but here it is again. My goal was to make a swingarm chop that was cool and also as narrow as possible. Still haven't actually rode the damn thing as I've been having issues getting it started and now I've got the tranny out putting in a N1 drum and I'm going to re-wire it as well while I'm at it... but anyways, i think it looks cool...
