Also... I have changed up what I'm gonna do with the rear suspension, I will be using a pull style shock from a buelll and mounting it under the engine. Because of this my swingarm design will have to change and I'll probably be cutting off the down tubes on the subframe and bending up some new...

I wasn't able to get a whole lot done over the weekend due to having family in town but I was able to do a little bit. I tried and tried to get the cartridges out of the lower forks to install the lowering spacers last week but couldn't get it done so I took them over to my local motorcycle...

More pics of tail with tank on to give an idea of the look of the bike

I spent the better part of last night trying to get the cartridge out of the lower forks and finally said screw it and dropped them off at my local mechanic to have him install my lowering spacers in the forks. I should be able to pick those up tomorrow along with my powdercoated parts so...

This is turning out to be really cool! I agree, if that Is gonna be your tank I think it looks good there.

Just finished up the seat mounts. Only things left to do on the frame should be to weld in the wiring tray and the mounts for the tail fiberglass. Then it will be ready for powdercoat. Gonna try to get all of that finished up this week but family is coming into town so we will see.

Fiberglassing this evening! Hopefully this goes better than the last 4 times I've tried to make a tail cowl. Wish me luck!

I'm gonna go pick up a 110-70 here in about an hour to get some actual measurements off of to make sure.

I'm thinking so, If my calculations are correct the tire will only be 1/8 inch wider than the wheel. So .062 per side, I should be able to squeeze it in there (fingers crossed)!

And to give y'all an idea of how much clearance I'm gonna have with the 17x3.5" front wheel in a yz85 front end it's gonna be super close but I can work with this! Custom Spokes have been ordered from buchanan's, as soon as they come in I'll get it laced up and trued and then can really start...

Thanks hurco550, glad to have ya here! I also got the forks disassembled, and will get the upper tubes over to the powdercoater tomorrow. The fork tubes, wheel hubs and other random parts will be a really cool copper color. My lowering springs came in last thursday from cannon racecraft and...
