I have two bikes. One that is perfectly functional that I ride everyday. The other is this Honda. Im building this for fun, not to score points from the internet forum cool guys. Internet savages!! For those that arent up to speed. I have a build thread that you can follow along with. Link is...

awesome. thank you. this is way cleaner than my ideas.

this seems like a pretty simple solution too.

something like this?

Thats in the plans as well. Question tho. What do you think would be a better option for bracing? A full hoop (red) or just adding some plating to the sides (yellow)?

Haven't re-measured anything yet but I'm guessing somewhere between 3-4in forward. I think it would make most sense to put the shock at the same angle as a stock bike. 3-4 should get it there but like I said I haven't actually taken tape to anything yet. Spent most my day out at an antique bike...

Youre the man. I do have an account over there. Im more of a lurker than a poster on forums tho.

What does NFG stand for?

haha yes you did! bummer... I wish I would have been able to read it. Thanks for the cookie tho. :) Anyway, like I said before lets not clutter this thread up anymore. If you guys want to make fun of my bike and tell me how stupid I am, feel free to follow along with my build thread thats...
