I can has StreetFighter?

Thanks!
I built the swing arm, from moly tubes, except the pivot tube and axle blocks which were machined from mild. I have pictures of the jig I made for it. The arm was orginally desiged for a larger tire. The biggest I'll use, however, will be a 200mm.

I changed my mind and moved the rear coil-over. The linkage doesn't fit as well... but it lowers the weight and gives better tire clearance.
What do you guys think?

here's another shot... oh yeah... and I threw on a random junk tire to get a rough fit for clearance

shock bracket looks good.is that as low as you will ever want to go?
just asking because with the way you have your bracket and the ability to "shim" it to sit taller,i would want to make sure that when i removed the shims i could get it as low as i wanted.
how about a pic of the swingarm arm jig you built.
here is my swingarm,close to yours.
machined mild steel axle plates 1.500 X .065 chro-mo pivot tube with mild steel bearing cups pressed in and welded,r1 wheel and brembo brake.

did you machine your pivot tube or have it done?

I had a friend turn the pivot tube for me. Sorry, I haven't posted much butI've been trying to do my homework and subsequent math for the rear suspension. It seems as though I may change my mind (again).

thanks for the reply.
hope you get the math worked out to your satisfaction.

After some number crunching these are some in progress shots of the frame.

does that mount allow shock to operate in a straight line?looks like it would kinda bind a little

I have since then changed the mount location. Please, tell me what you think of the latest photos.
