    Honestly, that would be awesome. If you're willing and able I think overall width, axle diameter and length, as well as distance from center to the sprocket would be just about all I need. Thank you! Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

    @teazer Thank you for the information! So I'm guessing I should measure the new forks and compare it to the old forks to see what I should do? @Hurco550 Thank you! Thats one of those things that I would never have even thought about until you mentioned it. I should now see how those wheels...

    Thank you, and welcome back to this project ridesolo! That is pretty much what I figured, but at the same time I am a huge huge fan of symmetry and I am honestly leaning towards disc in the rear for that reason, as well as just ease of use. You really helped me out earlier in this project so...

    Sorry CB, didn't see this until now. I'm not sure what you mean? We didn't reinforce that area, it just stock CJ360T frame there. Also, as per usual, real life got in the way, and I've barely touched the bike. I've since gotten a house, and between that, moving in, and other responsibilities...

    Re: CJ360T/XR600R, Possibly Monoshock "RoadRunner" My buddy of a buddy finally finished work on the monoshock conversion! Chopped the seat real short and removed all of the extra stuff on the frame I didn't want. I need to do a fair amount of work on the motor, and once that is...

    CJ360T/XR600R, Possibly Monoshock "RoadRunner"

    So real life got in the way of this project for a little while but I am back and making some headway. A buddy of a buddy of mine is going to help me do the frame work, motor mounts, and the monoshock conversion. So right now I need to figure out what shock to use. I know that the Wilkinson...

    Thank you Irk! So basically, the bar would look something like this? Also any tips or tricks on how to grind off the tabs and stuff without compromising the frame itself?

    Thank you for the suggestion Irk! Right after work I put in the shell with the top end and started doing some planning. The top motor mounts off the CJ should work just about perfect, just need some longer bolts and spacers on either side. The front motor mounts will be crush tubes on the...

    Sorry about the double post, but I forgot to actually post the questions I had, that I wanted to ask about. Basically, I'm in the process of cleaning up the frame and removing all the extra material that I don't want and get the frame back to being mostly tubular. I also am trying to find the...

    CJ360T/XR600R, Possibly Monoshock "RoadRunner"

    So real life got in the way, and work took me away from home for a month or so. While I was gone, the topend from the XR came back. It had a oversize valves installed and lapped, new seats, guides and springs, and bored out to 660. I put the topend on the empty crankcase for now to check...

    Re: CJ360T/XR600R, Possibly Monoshock "RoadRunner" Thank you! Is that just two mounts welded onto that bar or did you do any reinforcements? Also do you happen to have a picture of your upper shock mount? Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

    Re: CJ360T/XR600R, Possibly Monoshock "RoadRunner" Starting to plan out the geometry for the monoshock while the crank halves and covers are being blasted, and the top end is having some work done. I basically mocked up the swingarm, threw on the wheels, and tossed the shock in...

    CJ360T/XR600R, Possibly Monoshock "RoadRunner"

    Re: CJ360T/XR600R, Possibly Monoshock "RoadRunner" Thanks for the input guys! Would never have though of using the swingarm from the XR. Getting the swingarm off the XR was an adventure itself, but after getting it off, I mocked it up on my frame. Looks like all I need is an upper...

    CJ360T/XR600R, Possibly Monoshock "RoadRunner"

    Thank you for all the information Brad! I assume simply making mounts on the swingarm in front of the tire and mounts on the frame for a near vertical shock is not the right answer? Honestly, that was my primary plan as I had seen it done from that picture in my original post. Looking at the...

    Alright everyone, I've been chipping away at this project for a little bit now and I want to start a build thread not only for all the questions I know I'm going to have but also to create some accountability so that I actually finish this monster. The project started as a 1976 CJ360T that I...
