Good point, I'm sure I'll still end up with a few "adjustments" myself though. :-\
But, that's why I just put this in there instead:
A few new photos posted in the other thread as well.
Are you talking about the swing arm?Swagger said:
No plans to change that out, keep in mind that it's a shaft drive as well, so the swing arm is part of the drive.
Oh right, subframe, like on a dirt bike, 
some reason I didn't make the connection.
But anyway, I plan to leave it.
One of the reasons I did the project is that the Wing frame combines two lines that I lean towards, a flat line from head tube to back of seat and a general hoop rear end. Did some playing around with loosing the whole back end and just cantilevering the seat out (very cool and very tempting) but I like the frame the way it is.

holy hell do i love this bike...
I've been mostly lurking and enjoying your forum, haven't put up any updates in awhile.
Chronicled in detail here:

A few of the good new bits:
It's now legal, but the motor needs a bit more sorting, valves, and I had to loose the cool looking tires for some cool working ones.

The carbs seem great, very nice response from them and the linkage is working well.
Unfortunately the #4 cylinder has a leaky exhaust valve, so low compression on that cylinder puts the whole thing a little off.
Need to lap all the valves in I guess, the good thing is that they are so damn easy to get to on this ride, hardly have to remove anything.
That's the plan!Rocan said:
Poor-mans-BMWGS. ;D
The carbs are a bit of a hindrance here though, I've removed so much weight from the back and changed the riding position so much that you want to scoot much further forward that on a stock version. With a dual-sport riding posture the carbs end up being in the same real estate that my knees want to occupy. Considering options now, the set up is working great, but I might want to give a set of stock carbs a shot.
That would be sweet, I dig the old Honda graphics.
I saved a template of the pin stripes that were on the 750 tank before I had to mess with it, thinking about duplicating them with some copper colored stripes to tie in the forks.
For now it's just black, and I haven't decided to reference Honda or not, right now it's next to impossible to tell what it is at a glance, but the "what the hell is that" questions are already getting old.
