Was hoping you still had something in the works. Post up when you can.

Sorry, I went and re-read some earlier replies that stated your intentions. Reading comprehension is often lost on me. Carry on.

I think so. It just seems like there is going to be a heavy amount of stresses put in that area from the swingarm pivot and it currently isn't tied in with the lower cradle. I can't imagine a small amount of tubing will make much difference in electrical placement, especially if you go pma.

What's the plan for the tubing the rear motor mounts attach to? I can't imagine it will just be left as is, but curious what you have in mind.

How refreshing. Someone actually using math and calculating what will be necessary to "upgrade" the suspension and addressing the stresses placed on the frame while doing so. We need more of these threads, keep up the good work.

Re: 1972 DS7 The Long Road- The Un-Cafe Try not to forget that the suspension isn't loaded with a rider or under stresses normally given in riding conditions. It may look good now, but check it with the suspension fully compressed to see your true lean angle. Bike looks great though, keep up...

It's on my bucket list as well. I originally wanted to try out the cb350 drag bike once we get it finished on the salt, but I don't have a clue where to start on that.

From what I understand(very little), the salt doesn't care how much weight you lose, and sometimes requires more to get a good top speed. You lose acceleration speed, but not top speed.

Whoops...

I know this is Scramble budget, but what about Ti for weight reduction?

I don't know about all that. I'm just a hack.

Good stuff there Mark, your attention to detail is top notch. I wish you lived closer, I would definitely enslave you on more than one occasion for stuff like that.

Where you located?

I'm pretty sure I used to own the 360 you are building right now. It's been a few years though.

I would love to have some 4ls brakes, but unless a super deal falls in my lap I will pass. I'm pretty happy with how the kz is turning out. I started the fiberglass for the seat pan right before the weather went shitty, and on top of that ran out of resin. I'll get back to it soon enough though.
