hello, an Idea just appered. i'm thinking of swirwel the rear caliper hanging down against the ground under the svingarm. It looks like à fairly easy job. Mounting a Rod between the caliper and svingarm front end.

The good things about this is you getting rid of the caliper, hiding behind the muffler, and that pretty ugly caliper brace(?) sitting on the swingarm original.

Enyone seen this beeing Done, or have any thougs about this?

 Bikes looking good  :) good idea, you could try it out before shaving off the original brace

Chronic:
Tried out to sving down the caliper on the "spare bike" and it looked ok, but not really. Its something thats screams wrong about it, but it sure does Clean up the upper svingarm..

I´m also kinda completed the running bike..

Hey... Look at the side plates! That looks much nicer.

I think I like the caliper in the original position. It's up & out of the way if you ever venture off-road & the muffler partially hides it.

If you change your shocks to HAGON slim-line shocks, you can replace that curved caliper mount with a straight section of material like the pics below.
