The frame primed and ready for a dry-fit of the forks and swing arm

Since you are doing all of this work, I would install a brace kit on it from Z1E. I think it would be a waste of money to put all of the other high performance stuff on the bike and have a frame that flexes like a Slinky. What good is an all new front end and such a nice swing arm if they are connected with a Erector Set frame. :ohmy: Tell me more about the swing arm. How much, where, and so on.

This looks close to bolt on !

How hard is this wide tire kit and what are the advantages
do you have to make a spacer for the front sproket ???

This looks like alot of work but well worth it in the long run?

JMC swingarm. from swingarm.com $850 shipped. but beware all the warnings of up to 6 months to get one are true. But it was worth the wait. As Far as the frame goes. I considered the bracing but i am not racing the bike and I figure I want to feel the flex of that extra $$ lol???
