Well you're close on the Swingarm, but no cigar baby Let's just say it's in my posession already

Gonna be in the garage at the weekend stripping and having a look. It'll take a couple of weeks to sort at least, but this is gonna be a beaut

Chuffin eck, the bikes in a million pieces, I can't get the exhaust off, I found the throttle cable was down to a single thread, I've spent a fortune on yummy bars and clamps etc etc and I need to buy new brake pads, steering bearings and, and, and aaaaaargh, there's just a list as long as my arm

It's all exciting stuff though

Some serious pain in the arse bling!!!!

Mated up the swingarm and the shock, just about to fit the suspension linkage and one of the bearings self destructed

I've also noticed there are no mounts for a chain guard (which is a legal requirement So verns going to weld some on for me

Syco is currently sorting the suspension linkage for me and TT are delivering some final (very expensive bits), so I reckon 3-4 weeks to finish.

Anybody contemplating anything like this, I would suggest selling ya bike and buying a KTM

Vern has the swingarm for a bit of modification for road legalness, my bro has the suspension linkage for new bearings, so I'm left doing noting right now

Still waiting on some bits from TT too
