Hey man, looks cool. No idea how much you care about believability, but having a spring like that below the swingarm, will stretch it instead of compress. That doesn't really work at all in real life and would make for a very inefficient suspension set-up.

Good point!
I sort of care about it, got a bunch of photo refs of ducati diavel, I like the look of single sided swingarm and shock spring on the bottom, trying to make something similar to it.
This is how I see it working, simplified:
of course I'm not going to accurately recreate every working piece and linkage of this bike, don't have time for it, although it would be cool thing to do. Gotta sacrifice some functionality.
Looks really good. Liking the forms, the rear parts especially. Personally I'm hoping this will turn into something more fantastical, not just some bike that's been customized for fighting.
