This is the best part, putting all those freshly re-finished parts together.

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

[marve114]

Oh the shock mounts I found they was fun and games ..

Once I sorted the wheel alignment I bolted the mounts to the shockers and hung the shocks from the frame .
Next I placed axle stands under the frame to hold the weight of the bike as I don't have any center stand brackets ..

Then I wedged the wheel at the desired angle and marked the swing arm where the mounts sat .
Mounts I had made have a counter sunk hole in the middle , 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 .

Tonight's activitys

Front forks have been rebuilt with freshly powder coated lowers new seals, oil and bushes

Looking good mate, the J3's are very rare now.

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

[marve114]

Lol .

I intend to get them welded on and polished 😀

Don't panic I wasent going to leave them bolted sod that hahaha

[Zomerset Zed]

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

[marve114]

Swing arm prepped for welding hopefully tomorrow





Tyres are on the wheels il get you pervs a picture of them later when the discs etc are on

[marve114]

All welded up and polished

[marve114]
