Project Superhawk "What is he gonna do this time"

Some of you may remember my famous quest to turn my superhawk into a Supermoto that I pondered over a year ago.
That project was quite a challenge, fraught peril and papercuts, with multiple people fearing for the safety of my life. However with much dedication and the advice of the amazing members of this forum, I ended up finishing that project with a bike that was nearly identical to a Husky SM610 in every aspect, except the mirrors. It was quite the success.

Now back to the present, in a new year, I once again find myself itching to begin a new project with the Superhawk. I may find myself turning to seek the advice the many engineers, their Dads, and any other member who can contribute insight to complete the project.
Through my experience as a home-bred mechanic, backed by limited funds, and my sheer boredom at times, hopefully this project too can reach a successful conclusion.

If I were to do something like that, I'd make one myself. My projects are mainly planned around my lack of funding.

Well today I tried fitting the gsxr tail on the stock subframe, however it looks as if it may be easier to simply retrofit the gsxr subframe.

So I did a mock-up of the GSXR subframe on the Superhawk frame, and it looks like if I mount it using the top mount, I will end up with a large gap between the tank and the seat.
I will remove the stock subframe fully this weekend and I will do another mockup, but I may use mount it using the lower mounts and a custom upper mount bracket. I just need to make sure it doesn't interfere with the rear shock.
I will also be mounting the forks.
