the blade

[FIGHTERMC]

i started a new build a few months ago
after i parted out the 7/12.
i first got my hands on a set of oz wheels and
a set of ohlins forks.next was a frame and then
engine and running gear.also fitted a rsvr arm.
got my yokes back last week too.

not that hard to fit at all,i got the info off cabbie on another site.
the frame needs alittle taken off and a new spacer made up
but the bottom linkage on the swinger is off set so need a few more spacers and thats it.


thats lads for the replys.

[BANDITROD]
