didn't you post a thread on that? I've seen it before, I like the air ride idea.
what swingarm did you use? its looooong!

[cafebob]

yeah there is a whole thread on it.  It is a cast aluminum swingarm from a vfr500.  The vfr750 is even longer!.  This one is about 1.5 inches over the length of a 78F.  The shocks have air dampening, but are piston/spring inside.  Alot of VF guys upgrade to CBX600 shocks when theirs dies.  It is almost a bolt in.

huh, it looks longer than it is.
  1.5 inches longer than a 78f? That's about the same length as my swingarm.
maybe it looks so long from the lack of bulky shocks on either side of the tire.
