I have an extra that I'd make into a tank, is the 550 dry sump?
I'd have to see about a price. It would include SS oil lines and you would have to send me your old hoses so I cane make adapters for the motor

It's about 1 1/2" longer than stock, I'm pretty sure that what carpy sells as his "improved handling swing arm" I spent about two hours on it tonight and the thing handles awesome! It's a little stiff, but hell it rides like my 748!

I wouldn't need it to have an oil tank in it. 550 isn't like the 750...... Simply looking for a stronger and better handling swing arm.

I'll do some research, I need to know what wheels/brakes you'd run and shock length.

145 mains sounds excessive to me too.

Hah. That's one of my favorite essays of his. I remember reading it when it was first published - here's to gonzo journalism!

Also, what a beautiful piece of work you have there. Congratulations - I hope mine looks half as good when I'm done.

An overly fat main can feel torquey but may be loosing some up top.. its your bike, do as you wish..

Mtmooradian · « **Reply #437 on:** August 23, 2012, 10:31:33 am »

Your probably right. Last 3k drops out a bit... Im going to go with a 135main and raise the needles a clip
