is that swing arm a direct fit and are those rear sets in need of mods to mount?

He said he had to drill the bushings for the swing arm and get a longer bolt.

Looks great.  Next time I get home to Wisconsin, I'll be coming to Abbotsford to see my grandmother, and I would love to swing over to see this in person.  Nicely done.

Hi all, Im back with  a new hip. Finally managed to screw up the courage to gimp down the stairs to the computer.  Al went well, I like Oxycodone! 
Several poepole have axed about mounting the CBR rearsets. I had to cut nothing away, but got a fistful of coped bungs from http://www.lowbrowcustoms.com/index.php?l=product_list&c=108
then placed the rearsets where the bungs landed on a frame point.  I wanted to keep these about as low as stockers cause I'm so tall, so it worked out OK. Measured, tested and tried many positions and after settling on most comfortable tacked and welded the assembled bung/rearset combo to frame then. I do have a bit of interference with swingarm bolt that I will have to remove the shift side rearset to removed swingarm, but thats the price of beauty. If you look closely at a couple of the pics you can see the bungs welded on. It is by NO means a bolt of proposition.

Also, several have axed about the cost of teh chrome paint. It was $440.00 to do the tank. Pricey indeed, but I sure couldnt find a cheaper substitute.
