Slow progress

Finally got the swing arm brace welded up by guys on base and mounted the Moriwaki rear sets. Need to look for a light weight rear wheel if I can’t get the Aprilia rear to fit to match the front end.

Looking good. Have you test fitted the shock yet?

the shock is connected in the pick. It’s a F4i modified unit from JDr that I got a few years back. Is there usually clearance issues with the stock unit?

DOH!
I remember some issue with the brace interfering with the shock. Doesn't look like you have that.
I have been planning to do the same mod. Don't know if I'll ever get it done before the end.

it made a noticeable difference in handling, especially in the twistiest on not perfectly maintained roads. It was the 3rd mod I made to the bike,MCCT and exhaust were the other 2
