Got one off a Z1000A2 if any good to you?

I have lh and rh if you want them. No point me keeping one and not the other so you may as well have the pair. Don't want much, so make me an offer?

I ave got 2 of these if you want them. They are not perfect though.

Phew
Not a bad idea though to bolt them in place for welding

So I drilled and tapped the the swing arm and used counter sunk bolts .

Then that just left the final little tweaks to be made .

I hope you are not planning on just the bolts threaded into the swingarm to hold the shock mounts on

What's the story with the shock mounts on the swingarm? I take it you will weld these on in the places you have pinned them?

Only asking, coz I am going to hack mine off and machine up some new ones to relocate, as was thinking through how to simply jig them for welding

Welding was done by www.hintonpalmer.co.uk Who occupy most of the building that Griffs unit is in. It was done more as a favour than anything else.

Bowden auto engineering welded up the last one I did, cost me £40 & was done in a day or so. Here it is;

Cheers for that

Great project you have here and I have learnt much reading through it from start to finish. Stripping off the anodizing, shrink wrap over the cyl studs, to name a couple. So a big thanks for all that information :D Re. digital instruments, I have use Trailtech Vapor units on 3 bikes now and can thor...

Thanks for the photo Ian, I have been trying to locate details of what others have done here for a while now. This will give me something to do over the winter

Being an engineer I have modelled in 3D CAD the important parts of the rear end that I need to get right: http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/mikeandbron2012/Sideviewrearend_zps606f47e1.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/mikeandbron2012/Rearviewofrearend_zps7f42ba1d.jpg This is a crude mo...

Vapour blasted engine fitted loosely in frame so I can line up chain and sprockets and rear wheel: [img] [img]http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/mikeandbron2012/IMG_0113_zpsa09dc62e.jpg[/img] [/img] [img] [img]http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/mikeandbron2012/IMG_0146_zps0cd97b71.jpg[/img] ...

Looking very nice GB. Like the size of the tank filler

Who did the ally welding on you swingarm - bloody nice job that, I need some doing soon!

Sorry Jay, I am editing as posting and now have replacement head, perhaps I could have 3?

The head which came with the bike had the following damage. Unfortunately I only discovered most of the damage once I had spent a few hours blasting all the paint off: Crack on no.2 goes halfway down plug thread. Thread is also in a bad way: [img] [img]http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/mikeandb...

My bad - didn't notice the rear footrest hangers - only saw the seat Embarassed The seat is definitely going, anyone want it?....no I didn't think so :oops: This is a great project thread, 180/190 rear tyre with 530 chain will be just enough clearance for the frame, (in case you didn't already know...
