i agree with the bars and that's a zrx1100 swingarm. thanks man
next on the list in no particular order:
-finish tail and paint it
-repaint motor, frame and swingarm
-get shock mount welded to swingarm
-grind off old shock mounts (on the fence about this, might use as mounts for sliders in case i dump this on the first ride)
-have eccentrics modified to fit big rear axle
-wheel spacers front and back + caliper spacers
-buy an oil cooler and run the lines
-finish electrical
-find a cheap set of vm26 carburetors and boots
-find an exhaust header at the least and make an exhaust
-clutch/front brake controls
-find a tail light and headlight
-find turn signals
-find a front sprocket and chain.. defnitely going to need a big offset on the sprocket
-throttle and buttons on the bars
i'm sure there's more that I can't think of hahaha
I've run into a problem though now that I've got the swingarm properly mounted at the pivot; it seems to me that my rear wheel is going to be offset to the right slightly. I could take some material off the sprocket carrier to move it to the left, but then the bolts and nuts would have to be trimmed to clear and I'd have to grind a section out of the frame and plug it too (might have to do this anyways
). I must have miscalculated somewhere when I was making the spacers for the pivot. It's not very much though, maybe a few mm. Is it enough to cause any problems? I read on here somewhere that some bikes come from the factory with misaligned wheels... any truth to this? Has anyone here rode a bike with a swap that wasn't bang on and noticed any difference turning left or right?
