I'm partial to motorcycle builds that involve killing something.

Wow that's a bad a$$ 450. Is it stretched. Looks real long and low.

Re: rusty rat from ohio

i used the swingarm from a cb360 which is just shy of 2" longer than a stock 450 swinging arm. That and the 11" shocks dropped it down considerably.
