Well, I had no interested parties for my bike, so I have decided to continue with the original project. The front end is completed with the R1 Forks, custom slab yokes, drag barzs, rizoma grips and levers.
The mid section is done with the R6 rear sets. All that is left is the R6 swing arm, custom exhaust and chopped tail. In the picture below you can see the R6 swingarm fitted, just need to fabricate a mounting bracket for the dog bones. The custom exhaust is in the vice in the background, just need to clean it up and get it coated.
I will be fabricating a custom subframe for the seat with a mount for the top of the shock. As usual, I will keep you posted on the slow...slow...slow, progress
**UPDATE** Dry fitting the chopped seat and fabricating a subframe out of wood to use as a pattern for the aluminum version:
UPDATE: Ok, completed fabrication and powdercoated my new subframe. Here it is in its component pieces.
Exhaust and homemade baffle
Baffle inserted
Rear suspension top mounting point on fabricated subframe
Rear suspension bottom mounting point on cross brace
