can the front of the brace be raised up a couple inches or is it a chain issue?

i did not build the swingarm on the black z1r above,i just posted the pic to help visualize.
that is where the chain clearance gets close.it could probably be raised a little but you would need to have the gaering and chain in place to see just how close you can get it and still allow for suspension movement.

here is mine.my chain rubs on the brace a little,not much.

im just using this as an example but is it possible to build a brace that fits just above the level of the chain and follows same level as swingarm with a little kick/offset up in the front towards pivot tube then loops around to the other side ? i want people to have to look a little bit to notice the bracing.does this make sense?

plummen,the picture is what i have drawn so far(clicking it makes it bigger and easier to see).without the front part where the air/bottle will go(i need some dimension's)and i haven't added the bungs for a possible wheelie bar mount.i could use two bungs per side on the back of the brace and have some bolt on wheelie bar brackets.the welded on brackets "offend my sense of neatness".which is why i have been trying to figure out how to mount it without just having some brackets that look like an after thought hanging down when the bar is not on.does the pic look anything like what you thought it should?

ive got a rough picture to fax to you .its got an idea for the bar mounts i was talking about on the one side,but i think i like youre idea of the mount better.is it safe to send to ya?

allright i faxed it to ya
