    thats actually pretty cool goose. Be nice to find some pictures of different angles. Like to see how they worked out the single sided swingarm.

    Forks on backwards to put rotor on "down side" interesting move means the caliper mount is probably modified. It would stick out front further moving weight forwards.

    Probably a Ducati or VFR swing arm

    I wonder how the flipped front end affects stopping? It at all?

    Doubt it would affect stopping power but I have to believe the mount was not designed to experience force in that direction. Surprised it doesn't rip the bolts through the bracket. In that case there would be a significant reduction in stopping power.
