What a very interesting & informative build, loved it well done.

.

Well this thing is pretty much finished, just got to strip it down & send parts off to the sand blasters & powder coaters. Going to get some nut/bolts replaced & titanium for the rest. Will add some pictures when complete

That's looking good. I had the same problem but I cut the pivot points out & machined new ones up to suit the new swingarm. There's some pictures of it on my posts.

Just some pictures of progress

Got the front end on now & attacked the rear yesterday, ground off all brkts not required, had to turn up only 1 spacer on the brake side & its all done. Got to work out now how to mount the new suspension brkt to fit to the old mains stand support.
