    Innovative, check out the springer front end. WTF! I think they could have made a simplier chain tensioner. I guess I will see if its something I will need when I get to that point. Thanks for the article, thats one i've never seen.

    Thanks Bigperm I mean big worm that actually means a lot to me. I know all the guys that get on here and do projects like to get good feedback for their hardwork. This may be the only place where you can get that feedback. This whole project should be done within the next two weeks so keep watching I hope this all comes together like it looks in my mind. = )

    I'll post pics tomorrow but I wanted ya'll to know that I hadn't stopped working on it. The rear upper shock mount has been a little tricky. I mounted it today and the rear end sits a little high for my liking. I will remount it tomorrow and throw some more pics up. When you sit on it, it has a very plush feel and I would guess the swingarm has extended the axle out 4-5 inches from where it was stock. Looks nice though and actually works well.

    what are you doing about the airbox. i seen a lot of pic of 185s's with suspension but known of them gave a clear view of the airbox. i must have an airbox to attach my snorkle to. the stuff i play in requires a snorkle. i have taught long and hard about the small project you are on, but the only thing holding me back is the airbox. i don't mean to tie up your thread with my questions, but pic of what you are doing will be helpfull. by the way nice work. it good to see people building their toys the way they want them instead of going out and buying a quad.

    Great question. I also plan on using an airbox and stock snorkel. You'll have to look back here in a week and I will put some up close pics of what i'm doing about that.

    So things went backwards before they could go forward. The swingarm had to be modified again and again and again, Then I had to move the swingarm mounts up higher which made me have to buy a new shock. Check out the progress.
