dude that thing is dope! holler at me on IG i'll follow back!

Finally a rear subframe/seat set up I am happy with. None of the things that was available for purchase made me happy, so I just made my own. Time to wrap it later this week. I wanted that aggressive kick up and a floating seat.

ok

you're actually very wrong, its quite too stiff for my liking when taken off the center stand and load added by my weight (175lbs) i barley get 1 inch of sag.

Shock angle mock up. Homemade gussets for the shock brace. Anti gravity i'll be running. Seat pan in the works. Suspension mounted and ready to roll.

yes, but its not a joke, and have you considered that its in that position for "mock" up purposes? So i can determine the right angle for final mounts?

Never said I'm the first to do it? And whats a joke?

i decided to dual shock side by side under the seat and have a whole custom rear frame with a 1.5 inch kick-up, so I did more cutting, and welding. Im liking how this is turning out. Shocks came from my Harley.

Lets see what I can do with some steel wool on this rim. Fork seal/oil to be replaced.

really? i guess i'll find out once i start riding her!

Got the vintage Honda decals on :D New tires mount time!

So paint is done, I am very pleased with how things came out. I love this ivory color! Priming First base coat! Finished product!

Re: 1971 CB500 from Houston yeah its by no means going to be a performance or high speed bike as of now. but if ever i do sport bike shocks, i'll get some REAL tires.
