    Well, its under the knife again. The shorter swinger has been finished and installed along with a +4 lonestar axle. Also installed shorter handle bars.

    This picture was the latest one I had available to me at the moment so i photoshoped it to represent the change in the subframe and seat height. No its not a picture with the work done but its very close ot what it looks like. I'll get updated pics as soon as I can but this is what it looks like right now.



    Next is getting the topend redone again, the lowboy exhaust and respringing the front end with new seals.
    And that's the rest of the story. ~ Paul Harvey

    Recent pics. -2 subframe, lowboy pipe, -4 off swinger, +4 rear axle. More work to be done. A minor ride report = a million times better.

    Gota make exhaust mounts. blah.





    92 exhaust on an 87 frame. Tight fit but doable. Need to make custom silencer pipe.

    Awesome, looks real good Louis. Glad the swingarm change was in the right direction, looks like it still holding up good too Did your chain guide up there fit on without much problem? I remember that was kind of a problematic area for me when I was working on welding it all together.

    That is the CR pedal Tim but it needs a little modification to work perfect. The bulk of the changes are done I just need to get some of the details worked out for TF.

    Thanks for all the positive comments guys. It keeps a guy motivated.

    Old thread, old version of the bike. Here's the newer version. I'll get around to adding to the thread eventually. Thanks though! The new one is a million times better!
