Lots of rust and doesn't appear to have been greased in a long time. Anyone have a technique For pulling out the swingarm bearings? Worst case scenario I'll just run them down the street to the Kawi shop and have them pull them for me.

just get a good drift and beat the crap out of it...

get a washer that is the same size as the od of the bearing and grind the sides flat until you can slip it down inside the bearing and flip it over so it sets flat against the back of the bearing and use a long punch to knock or press it out by pushing on the washer.

hope this makes sense.

It's been a while since I last posted. Work has been super busy for me over the summer. I did find some time to make and weld in the gussets on my subframe. I wanted to fill a little bit of the space in in front of the rear tire. Mostly just cosmetic.

More progress. Final build time

Looks great! BTW, what are those beautiful white wheels in the background for?

They are for a customer. I powder coat

Excellent. Where in the world are you located?

I'm in Denver Colorado
