Nice bendy bits! I like the idea for the rearset mounts - but will they hold up to the weight of a rider standing on them etc?

Being a chassis / suspension designer [ auto ] I'd say the gearchange side is very nicely triangulated.

Jesus! How do you get the exhaust off?

Nice welds. Have you run into any problems with the front pipe being so much longer than the rear?

Hi.
Looks like you're making better progress than me. Those pipes look the muttsnutts
What rear shock are you using ? I'm after a bit more ride height at the back & also junk all the adjusters.

Cheers MJ, I do remember you saying that about the YZF shock but is it the same length as standard?. I'm bit more ride height

yeah sorry forgot mention that part, the shock is identical in length so you wont get much help in that department.. but as for fitment its golden, and gets rid of all the nonsense air, adjuster, whatever, crap.
