I made that mock up bar after I took that photo. I just put a wood-handled hammer in there for the pic :p

I think it looks cool like that but I'm not going to have have that much rake once it's put together.


The other thing to consider apart from the rake is chain clearance - at that angle your chain will be sawing a big notch on top of your swingarm pivot
 
Great build & thread mate i'me hooked to your project, some great skills ya got there keep the pics and updates coming. ps dream of a workshop as big as that cool mancave !
 
Look at that hairline, Bryan! As mentioned before, stoked to see the direction this is going in!

:)
 
Gotta look good in the garage hahah

Another mini update: I got my engine cases off to Noblehops to be vapor blasted... I can't wait to see the results!

Looks awesome. How much did it cost? Maybe I missed it, but where did you send it?
 
Who knew a form of aluminum restoration could prompt a physical reaction? Great looking project here.

He did mine as well, great work!
 
I got the monoshock mounting points done and tacked up. Now I just have to take it to RaceTech and hopefully they say the geometry will work!
