Ha. Then you went and edited your response.
Great adjustment. What's the wheelbase at there? Tuck her chin just a little bit and you'll already be swingin for the fences on this onedeviant said:Alright, here we go again...

you have longer suspension so when the fork angle is lazy you end up with not enough weight on the front wheel
and compounding this is the heavier lump of an engine sitting too far back in the old school frame
also you need to make sure when forks are bottomed out that the front tire doesn't crash into the header pipe or frame, you may find it has lots of room :-X but this is very bad,so converesely you want it to be as close as you can possibly get it to be in order to have a good front back weight bias
im telling you now you have been warned if you want razor sharp handling,that doesnt throw you down and break your coller bones, you will do as i have promoted 27 28 MAX degrees bub then of course in the end you may need to adjust the triple offset for ideal trail but 30 degrees is stupid it is a lazy number for KLR 650 riders they want a bike that is nice and stable on the freeway
I doubt it. Although, I'm not averse to having all the brand names still on their parts. That 7fitty has a rear caliper with a Kawasaki logo on it still. I think there will be nothing but a logo I create on this bike.canyoncarver said:Will you be leaving the Suzuki logo on the swingarm?
Awesome. Chamfer the cut headstock for a much nicer weld.deviant said:

I do that on tube as well for the same reason but imo thats the best way anyway so it doesnt pull it out of square as you weld it. It looks good, and strong. Nice work as usual.deviant said:Nice and square. I'm not really good at welding around round things in one run, so I do four tacks across from each other, then 2 inch welds around...
