notice on the turbo bike, it has modern suspension. this is commonly robed from damaged bikes.
i have it on mine and it handles better than the old stuff. u had mentioned a rubbery swing arm. this cures it , front and back. u can go conventional, or upside down. its just a personal preference.
u can even go with a single sided swingarm.
this has a Euro flair. they like the tails high . this 1 is actually low for there liking.

That's gorgeous, mark1122.

Old Harley or ? light and instrument cans?

The front fender-can't tell by the photo, but is it carbon fiber?

not sure but it may be an 8" suzuki light, dont know about the cans?
the fender is carbon fiber. lots of those around now. i would think u can get them for most modern bikes now, that is likely a Gsxr front end
