Awesome progress sir.

teazer said:Why would you want to lower the front end or lengthen the swingarm? That works on a drag bike but not so well on the street. Most of the lengthened swingarms we see here are not safe at any speed and even if they were, they are detrimental to handling as a rule.
Your bike will work and look nice with good mufflers and fenders to finish it off. You have fitted great tires and it looks usable - why make it less so?

teazer said:Only if it is fitted with longer shocks....... Stretching the swingarm with stock chocks lowers the rear end. Stretching swingarms is rarely a good idea.
