Re: Out in a field Build ... The Sock Monkey

awesome bike man, love the black and red accent, reminds me of my R1 raven with the moto gp red ring around the rim.
 
Re: Out in a field Build ... The Sock Monkey

once again mate wicked build. how heavy will that spacer be will it effect rotation etc at all i have no idea about weights at all but will it change the balance or anything? cant wait to see her done and you must through up a vid of her flying.
 
Re: Out in a field Build ... The Sock Monkey

Thanks guys !
Not sure of the diff but i know they seem to be real close to the point it shouldnt be a problem ! Going to be pulling it off to have the back trimed down so will check it out then and see the diff ;D
 
Re: Out in a field Build ... The Sock Monkey

That puppy has to be at least a pound lighter than the stock disc.... Plus it's so close to the centerline of the wheel. My guess is zero effect on balance, but a meaningful step in the right direction regarding unsprung weight.
 
Re: Out in a field Build ... The Sock Monkey

Just a small update : Got the rearset all done and painted ! Did mess with the exhaust and not throwing out the idea of making a 2 into 1 but as of now really liking where the pipes are ! Made new hangers for them out of Alum and have to i like it ! Will get pics of the Exhaust once its all buttoned up this weekend !

You have completely turned that bike around. It is no longer destined for the junk yard. Good job dude!

Re: Out in a field Build ... The Sock Monkey

Did some riding this weekend with some of the Cleve guys . Still had some time to finish up the exhaust and make new mounts made up . Picked up a spare XS500c motor and stock headers from mike and matt which will be made into my 2into1 exhaust but for now going to run it like this.....

So much attention to detail here man. Really gorgeous.
 
Re: Out in a field Build ... The Sock Monkey

Don't know how I haven't noticed your build before, but I'm watching it now! Cant wait to see this in person. My first street bike was a purple 74. Loved it.
