matt, your pnion looks like its pointed at the ground to me.
2 commom pinion angle methods
1. make crank center line and pinion parrallel, then rotate rear down desired amount
example, crank -2, make pinion +2 = 0 pinon angle. then rotate rear down 2-5 degrees. this method your pinion may be 2* down but actually be 4* by this method
2. ds and pinion. somtimes guys mess up math/or angle up or down on this method
a -2 ds and -2 pin =-4pa.
