i think this build i awesome, would love to do this build on my 500, but it is going cafe.
this looks like a real pro build to me, lots of details on it. can't wait to see it all done.
keep us posted, later.
Just had a look at page 1.
Nice work, but..............
You did put a bushing in the lower rear shock mount?
Original had rubber mount to allow shock to rotate slightly as suspension moves.
If you bolt it up tight its going to snap shock or loosen up bolt, even thought the movement is minimal.
Thanks for your concern but 7000kms and the shocks and bolts are doing fine. Same basic principle as a swing arm where a lubbed metal bolt is surrounded by a metal sleeve. Have you seen a swing arm bolt snap? Ohh, and loctitie is your friend
The bike is ridden pretty much every day and its tough to get the guy off the bike to take pics. The bike will be featured in a Canadian bike magazine early in the new year.

So i took some pics today of the bike, beaten and worn by the weather since it sat outside all summer with no cover...rain, sun have dulled the finishes and rusted some bolts but it still looks pretty good.
looks pretty sweet.
it is a real shame to heir how it was treated though.
i wish i was the owner of it.
might build one yet though, this is a big insperation for me, to me the best bike one the forum.
definate feb bike of the month, for me.
i didnt expect that but it would be nice to have it be bike of the month lol. Ya its a shame it wasnt treated aswell as it should have been but what can you do. I builtit for a friend of mine and the worst part is i didnt charge him for the labour.
