"Some collectors have asked if it is ok to bend the front spike a little (using hair dryer) to achieve this angle which is closer to prototype. As you can see in the pic, it is doable but not advisable."

"We advise collectors to use the updated configuration (final shipped version). The revised angle is due to two reasons. Firstly, in terms of motion, the bike is moving upwards and GR is lashing out ahead so when viewed from angles (especially front - see next pic) it is more natural. 2nd, engineering team has tweaked the upward angle to be more durable whereas the more straight pointing angle may sag over time due to the weight of the spear head."

"This is the final recommended configuration"

"GR is looking at where he is striking."

Sounds funny, but I like the explanation that XM gives. They definitely believe in their pose.

Paint apps are terrible looking. They should have gone with the translucent resin.

Personal preference, but I prefer the painted flames, just think it looks insanely badass. I'm sure it looks a thousand times better in person than pics will show. Very pleased with XMs decision on the flames and the final colors, even though Im probably in the minority. Cant for this to come across the pond! Absolutely stunning.
