Bike is looking great as usual!

Are you reusing the upper shock mounts or are you turning some new ones?

Putting in some new ones. Simplifies that area.

So I made some pins that match the inside of the tube perfectly to ensure the loop matches the frame.



Cut down the loop to get my length.


Ah...


Seat pan


Removed the tubes and started playing with strut location.




Bored out the rear caliper. Need to get spacers figured out.

Devin - when you weld that plug in the hoop, drill through the outer tube and pin in both sections. This will insure the plug never pulls apart or twists. Or at least drill through outer tube and into the plug and fill with weld to fuse the two together.

If you need some spacers, drop me Aline and I'll get them turned for you in aluminum. My buddy is doing some for me for another members calipers on his CBR/Hayabusa (I think) mod.

Merry Xmas
Cal

Cal,

I forgot to give you the drawing. I'll let you know.

Merry Christmas to you too.

Completed some frame work yesterday.

Lined up the strut mounts




Tube notching for support tubes. Made by Eastwood. Not a bad unit; gets the job done. I recommend a better hole saw than the kit comes with.



Grinding and tacking complete.



Dropped the frame onto the motor so I can check clearances for additional modifications.



Threw some wheels on.

Got a little bit of work done

Got the seat back from upholstery but it looked way to thick. Disconnected from bike with proportions.


Ripped it apart and reshaped. I will drop it off again today.

The thinner seat foam looks better.

The tank on the bike in the background looks nice, too.

Wow!  Single-sided swingarm mono shock suspension. Looks great. Details on the swingarm?  How much have you increased the wheelbase?

That thinner seat foam will be much nicer and better proportioned. I like it.

I also really like the direction of that 350. Very nice.
