With a little bit more effort the side panels could more closely follow the line of the seat and tank.

well, I love my Scrambler 1200 - but there is something about it that makes it look worse than the std bike. As above it is probably the cobbled together side panels ....

Is the chain deliberately so slack it is hanging below the sawn-off chain guard?

Overall, I like the look, but I personally prefer a high level exhaust on a Scrambler.
A set of shotgun pipes would set it off.

I like it a lot - there's some nice details there - but I'd like to see a period front brake caliper and as people have said the exhaust is so wrong and should be high level - or at least like a Harley XR flat tracker

I'm not fussed on the looks of scramblers,but I really love the colour.
