Well put the bike in van and took it for a drive to check my bodge it wheel alignment :)
I was only 5mm out
Image
So got it home and pulled the rear wheel out
Image
Removed spacer that I've got to make 5mm thicker and after some carefull measuring and best efforts with my crayons came up with this
Image
I gave these to a good friend who will make this for me so on e I e got a rear brake sorted I can get the spacer made for the other side then the wheel alignment is done. Only taken 2 years !!!!!
Also orderd a 15mm offset front sprocket today from debbens things are moving along

Having a play around with the rear light
Thinking about junking the original item and moulding in this gpz600 item
For a more slim compact look

Thoughts ?
Please bear in mind this is just rest together at the moment .

Nice build Marve.

That back light looks 10x better than the original already.

Keep up the good work

Been a week or so not done much to the bike so i got out there today to address chain rubbing problem on the swing arm

This was the problem
Image

As you can see there is a point that touches to arm, So this happened

Image

Then i cut a small slot in the existing material and hammerd it flat to remove the curve turned it up side down and droped into place

Image

Got to get this welded up but i should now have no problems with the chain run :twisted:
