I'm using a bender I built myself using plans from www.gottrikes.com

what swing arm and shock are you using im looking to do a similar build on my 77 kz400 and am trying to get idea of parts for it

Swing arm is stock with a brace I welded on, the shock is from a Buell 1125.

So I'm getting really close now, almost all of the fabrication work is done. A few little things to do here and there, like actually mount the tach

I built some mounts so I could use a Buell 1125 front fender, welded up the exhaust using stainless bends, mounted the front headlight and turn signals, made the battery box mount, not sure if you can see it in these pictures but its mounted under the swing arm pivot. A bunch of other little stuff, but anyway on to the pictures. I'll start with my favorite one first...

Not the best lighting in some of these photos. Anyway getting closer. I'm trying to have the bike ready by mid February but we will see if I can do it.

Let me know what you think so far....

Ooooooohhhhhh man, I'm excited!!!!!!!!!!

Forgive the terrible pictures, but I got my frame/wheels back from the powdercoater today! He did a stellar job, I couldn't be happier. I need to get a pic of the wheels in the sun because they have some metallic in them and they sparkle pretty good. Just about time for reassembly! Let me know watcha think!

Let's get this party started!

More to come tomorrow hopefully...

Pretty weak progress today unfortunately. I wasn't able to get as much done as I wanted because I have to take the rear wheel into the painter's tomorrow so he can match the tank color to the wheels. I did get the swing arm and rear shock into place, got the exhaust on, rear brake lever/master on, grips on, a few miscellaneous items. Hopefully I won't have to leave the wheel with the painter and I can finish putting the rear of the bike together.

Sorry for the bad pics, hopefully the weather will clear up soon and I can get a few shots of it outside.

Awesome project.
