Detn8er - Thanks MUCH for the pics. Very handy to see how others solved the conversion issues.
Some comments, as I think out loud.
The vertical member where he reinforced the tube above the swingarm pivot was to provide a place to weld in a crossmember for the top shock mount.
His top shock mount is pretty low - mine is about 8" higher, using the frame rails as a mount. I'm not sure that is a stock shock, as I cannot see any linkage underneath, nor the Honda hydraulic pre-loader. Any other pics?
He did not move the swingarm pivot, but it sure looks longer - must be an illusion due to all that air above the tire. Certainly enough room for wheel travel!
He also appears to have the stock ride height, based upon the stock looking sidestand.
I'd bet he whacked off at least 50 lbs, prolly more.
All in all, a well thought out project with some good engineering.
Thanks again for the time to post these.
