For sure! They still hurt. I use to ride BMX, after those bear claws, I went to platforms with less spikes. They look awesome and very original!
i still have scars on my legs from those bmx pedals
...but i dont think awk is going to be 360ing the motorcycle lol..
they look great and the bike is looking better and better everytime i see it awk
we let a guy borrow the mig welder last week, he brought it back but not the helmet (A-HOLE)
and my own helmet is at my storage unit, so the fender brackets just got a few tacks to hold them in place for now.
pay no attention to the "way too long" bolts touching the tires I used to position it, all I had at the time.
thats an m8 x 45mm bolt, so there's plenty of room between it and the tires
I'm thinking bolt head inside, acorn nut on the outside ?
ninja shock back in there until I get the ducati spring off and painted
fender brackets out of 1/8" steel, following the lines of the seat bracket

I see no reason to reinforce or replace this swingarm, there's no rust anywhere and zero reports of any problems ever with this swingarm that I have seen, it's designed well and built to last forever.
plus it has the driveshaft running inside the right hand side back to the differential.
my lower shock mount spans the stamped steel like our blaster swingers have and is welded to the heavy tubes running back each side.
driveshaft inside tube
universal joint inside rubber boot
agreed, and will match the m6 allen button heads that will hold my seat and license plate holder on
Ahh i see, I just didn't want to see it twist on ya or anything that's all. Now that you pointed a few things out it looks bulkier than I assumed. I have looked at these pics over and over and never realized the drive shaft went through the swing arm . Pretty neat how they did that.

made a little progress today before my son showed up to get a boom-boom system installed in his blazer
mounted new headlight & brackets, turns, cbr250r switches, clutch lever & master cylinder/lever, and mirrors.
headlight bulb and grill need a slight turn to align correctly when I have it apart for paint/final assembly
not digging how high the mirrors sit
forecast predicts different ones

not these ones, the supports split into 2 after the mount, then back to 1 near the mirror itself, and is too thin to redrill/tap.
I'll figure sumthin out with them, or just get sumthin different.
think I only paid $20 sum for them
these look like they sit much closer to the grips, maybe I can swap the mirrors onto these stems ?

edit: just bought those for $21 shipped
it appears I can even cut them down and re-drill/tap them even shorter

Nice looking dude dude. I'm in the middle of building a mini chopper. I have that same style headlight and them mirrors you link to on ebay.
