Well I had a shock bolt brake off in the swing arm so decided to take it off and get it fixed. The bolt was a pain in the ars... I had to just make a whole new bracket for the shocks. So when I had the plasma and MIG out I decided to make the splash guard easier to mount and make the bike slam a little lower. Hope to have the bike back on the road later this week.

 

Wow dude looking good your wheels going to tuck in like jd's

 

fireman--
Ive never had mine off, so Im not sure what it looks like--can you tell me what you did? What is different in these pics?
I see where youve done some ginding, it looks like, but Im missing the mods.
How will it change things?

 

The swing arm strikes the bump stop and that is what I modified. You see in first picture that the pipe has a flat spot in it now? That is where the swing arm hits the bump stop. I took about 1/2" of the pipe out. And I also had to grind on the side plates so they do not contact the oil tank.

 

Make sure your drive belt doesn't rub coming out of the primary, either, if you slam it that low. Good luck. Gonna look SICK, man.

 

Are you chroming it too? After all the work of taking it off you might as well.

Looking forward to before and after mod pics.

 

gotcha--thats a pretty good idea...alot of work toget there, but good idea, no less.

 

i like the mounting holes for the splash guard...looking forward to seeing it. let me know when your reinstalling and I'll help out.

 

Yes it will get chromed with a lot of other small things but want to ride it before weather gets to bad.
