Don't cut straight through those cans you will wish you didnt.
De sleeve them first and cut routers then winners, just incase you didn't know.;-)
Haha yeah mate i did de-sleeve them first and i sure am glad i did!
i cant create anything without the magic smoke
ok wow its been a while since i have laid a hand on the old girl and honestly i almost lost interest.....
but im back and things are progressing!
bottom monoshock mounts are in and just need shaping and i have started on the top mount:

i plan to weld some plate in between the box section and the round frame brace.
i have done a bit of a frame clean up, mainly all the lugs that sat under the seat and behind the tank, and also the big bulky twin shock mounts.
also hacked off the rear of the frame to allow me to play with the Yoshies a little bit, i have decided against using the original seat as its just too big and high, im going to make a much smaller custom one.

I was just thinking about your project the other day and wondering where you were with it. Looking good mate.
Yeah like i said i haven't touched it for months, but have The spark back now.
Is that zook rolling yet? I cant get into members now (too poor)
I have decided my seat is just too massive and needs a chop!

Looks good dude stay motivated it's too good of a build to give up
Short tail look better I reckon
I like the short tail too but i felt it was starting to loose the style of the bike
I want it to look old skool muscle not german fighter.
It's good to have a project or two out in the shed that you can go back to when you get a few days/hours free.Quote:

i havent measured exact trail or rake yet as the mount is onlY tacked on for now
but it sits LONG, LOW AND WIDE!
Looking good mate how does it feel in the back end
thanks Rod, the back end feels god mate, still sloppy in the rear axle as its not bushed yet, but the height feels awesome!
the stance of it looks good mate. love it.
Thanks mate its fucken awesome to sit on!!!
Tho i may need some bigger risers, its a bit more of a lean over that long tank than i thought it would be.
A quick mock up and its starting to look like image i have had in my head for 2 years.
