    Good post, thankyou.

    I'd just like to add one thought regarding having the LL swingarm pivot above or below the axle height.
    If the pivot is heigher than the axle, during suspension compression the tyre will have to move forward through it's arc until the axle reaches the same height as the pivot.

    I do, however, know that that bitch ROCKS!!! I don't blame you one bit for tossing her sideways, TOTALLY UNDERSTAND! That looks like so much friggin' FUN! :D:evil

    I could have a blast down in the pine barrens with that, This is the route I've been considering for my 79 CB 750F/SS, you just sealed her fate. It needs to have the forks rebuilt anyway, so why not?

    Spectacular build, sounds sweet as hell!

    GOOD WORK, now go shoot more footage!:clap
