TOPIC:

welll little more work.....
first decided to redo the mount for the rear shock.....did the top mount but need a good idea for the bottom.need to be strong for two rider.



also found some pin hole in one of the rear peg bracket


so had to repair it



also clean some small parts ...like motor mounts spaccers


so like i said need good ideas on the lower mount for the rear shock....
my old set up


do not think it would hold



please advice
th

1/8 inch thick or thicker material in the shape you have there welded well on both sides will be plenty stout.the main thing is the welds are done well .
as the suspension works it is trying to tear them off the tube.so the weld is the main factor in opinion.

hth,

leon

had some time for the bike again........completed the gauges.....amazing how many small peices were missing




aslo received the new seat from z1

back working on the bike....after i repair the left side rear peg bracket....did not like the way it look compared to the other side...so both sides were cut off.
looking for those members who also have remove and install late model rear sets......need pics and advice.

thanks to Leon for turning some nice bushing for me

I built a set of rear-sets that mount directly to the KZ studs. I used 1/2 inch aluminum plate. the are not pretty (yet). but will be satisfactory



. There is some stuff about them on my page:

sorry for the confusion.......meant the passengers pegs need to mount new one

few pics of where im at with my bike....

ditch the clip on for the regular bars


fork stop welded
i still need ideas on passengers rear pegs...had to cut off originals due to rust damage

you can weld some tabs to the frame and run some late model sport bike passenger peg brackets and all.

I'd go with 3/8". Plenty of meet and a little easier to weld to the thin wall tubing the frame is made of.

Later, Doug

thx.....ill get a piece of both......

finally found the problem with the welder...thought it was me dont knowing how to weld. the gas line that connects to the drive motor block was broken and had come off .....wish i had found the prblem earlier would off made better looking welds.
