Cb200 "Hephaestus"

[Rich Ard]

Me and my dad why do you ask?

Good on ya. Now that my dad and I both have time and the inclination to work on projects (rather than frantically trying to keep daily drivers on the road) we live a couple thousand miles apart.

So is this gal-cb200 one of Hephaestus's love affairs...man the Greek God's have sordid love affairs...Aphrodite, Charis, and then being rejected by a goddess just because Heph didnt have the looks. Pissed off at Athena his ejaculate falls to the earth and impregnates Gaia...is the monoshock because he only has one good foot? God can you imagine how much therapy you would need with a Dad like Zeus...we are in!

I dig it. But what's the plan for shock mounts?

We're going to put another hoop above the swingarm, and then mount to that then under the tank.

Off to school today I plan on stripping the frame down and getting it ready for paint.

Yup, it's a lot of fun fab work, and I'm learning to weld so I'm happy

I love how your Dad is so into it! Nothing like a father son project and learning some mad skills from your Dad!

 

[Texasstar]

Status?

 

[Maxd22]

Holy hell! It's been a while.im so sorry everybody! My monoshock took 3 weeks to ship and now that I'm back to school, well grades aren't great so dads not happy! But here in the next week you guys should see a few more posts from me, probably mostly cleaning with my new bench polisher, which was much needed.

On another note, anybody have an idea on a short (6-8") monoshock?

 

[Maxd22]

A few ideas/ mockups.. I need a shorter shock I think.

 

[Maxd22]

So I really owe everybody an apology, it's been my responsibility to keep up with this post, but my schoolwork has been piling up as well as my actual work. So the bike had to sit, until last night when the warmth reminded me why I was building in the first place.
So I finished up my whole rear suspension!

 

[1sttimer]

Saweeeeeet.

 

[teazer]

I can't see the front triangulation on that loop. Please explain how the rear suspension works.
