I guess I certainly fall into the category of "ruining" a great motorcycle. I posted a pic of my 09 Monster Edition 14 on another forum and had someone said it looked like a hillclimber and even posted a pic of a hillclimb bike with the rear wheel several feet behind the rest of the motorcycle. Mine isn't that bad but I really do like it out at 70+" wheelbase. I want a sidewinder too to "ruin" it even more. That's the look I like but it's also very functional for what I like to do with the bike. When I ride it I do not take corners like I'm Johnny Roadracer. I'm too old for that. It rides really nice in a straight line that long though and that's what I do. When we go to the track with it and Sam and Dave try to extract maximum performance out of the bike, it's sure nice having enough wheelbase to go WOT before 3rd gear. Here again, just defending my position on what I did to "ruin" my great motorcycle and why I did it. BTW, the NA 14 is the shortest of the three bikes I have. Go figure????
