Is that your last project?

i asume, since u have a lock up that u are going to go for a low long drag look ?
what is that brake master,? very trick loolking.

i am wondering about the low profile, crank vent cap. will it provide enough venting? i have a the larger stock type, that i modified internaly for more air flow, on my KZ1200.

Whats that? Half of my swingarm is missing?!?!?

The shock isn't going to hang that low. The dog bone, or the three point bracket that bolts to the shock and the swingarm link also has to bolt to the frame. You can see it hanging on the bottom of the shock in some of the pics. Once its mounted properly (somewhere where the original center stand mount was) it won't be quite so dangerous to the local speed bumps
