Well I aligned the sprockets, cut out done wheel spacers. Made the mistake of assuming the chain was going to clear everything, but found out after the chain hits on the tyre so I had to take the wheel and sprocket to a machine shop to have a carrier made to space the sprocket out. I'll have to cut some new axle spacers which is no big deal.

I was originally going to run these fender struts off the tab you see weldded on the swing arm above the axle, but now I'm thinking further up the arm as you can see in the pic below. To me it flows better with the fender

What do you mean by having a carrier made to space out the sprocket ?

And I agree 100%, fender struts needs to be exactly where you have it in that picture.

I never though I would find myself complementing someone on their tire..... I love that rear tire you went with man!!!!

I don't wanna get ahead of ourselves here but I can't wait to see what you do with paint choices.

Let's keep this project moving brah !!
Lolol

Ok so you are moving the rear sprocket out but will it still align with the front sprocket? The placement of the fender looks good to me also.
