good deal.. lets a have a look...?

i weighed 50 pounds of take off parts

stock 15" with Shinko 140 you got a Virago?

gonna lower the front a bit more with an XS 400 wheel (18")and Seca II forks. (same 38mm as the Virago)

F.Y.I.- Seca II swingarm also "bolts in"- that is to say remove the bosses from inside the frame where the swingarm goes through and it will slot right in- same axle diameter as the 650. rear is a 1:1 ratio stock so it'd be easy enough get in the ballpark compliance-wise i had one mocked up on...

oh it supports them just fine- a little too well at present in fact.a stock R6 shock spring is in the realm of about 450 pounds and works at or near a 2:1 ratio.this setup is a 1:1 so a softer spring is needed.

shock-'03 R6 swinger-'83 XS400RJ

a long way to go but this is the general look...

all bolt on so i can return it to a standard '66 305 Scrambler should i want to.
