You are a true old school thinker. Find cool parts and make them fit. Add me to your watch list.

 

I'm watching this already, but damn I like this guys style.

 

Holy crapper, the 600 arm showed up today!!!!

I ordered it from New Jersey, $50.00 delivered!!!!! Shock, axle and spacers on the way.

Anyway, it slots right into the friggin frame!!!! Just gonna have to have a pivot bolt, some spacers and two bushings made. Or I could just drill out the frame and not have to make bushings, either way. The cost of a drill bit that large would probably be the same cost as the bushings anyway.The chain line with this arm looks to only be off by a half inch!!!!!!!!






And hey, I know the bike has a sporty type of stance in these pics, but it is just a mock up. Will look way different in final form, TRUST ME!!!

No, that is not a steam roller in the background, that is my 750F!!!

 

This thing may be a roller in a couple weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

If you haven't figured out those plug ends yet take pictures and post them. If they are molex connectors they come apart real easy. Just remember which wire goes where. Look inside the plug ther should be two holes in the center that you can put a small pair of needle nose plier tip in. Insert squeeze slightly and pull up. It won't come all the way out. It just unlocks the plug. Then there should be small pin holes next to each wire. Insert a small drill bit or stiff wire till you feel a slight click and pull the wire from the opposite side and it will slide right out.

 

Not sure if it was mentioned, but what are you going to do for rear suspension?

 

The mono shock is built right into the arm. See the big tower in the middle of the arm. All I have to do is determine ride height and weld a big shackle to the frame to conect the shock linkage to. Real straight forward, that is why I went with this arm, dont have to build a top shock mount.

 

Thanx for the info. I snipped all the wires to the plugs and labeled everything with masking tape and marker. Also the wires are all different colors. I will use connectors and shrink wrap when I put it all back together. Actually, the bars I am going to use are quite a bit shorter than what I had. So I could also just put new plugs on the ends of the wires and plug them back into those blocks, as I will have plenty of extra wire length.

 

Ct: You do realize that Eric Buell is really jealous of you right now, don't you? He always wanted a big twin for his bikes but the factory never let it happen.

 

I will just be happy if everything goes smooth from here on out. Issues have a way of poppin up!!!!!

I am concerned with the fork clearance to the tank and a few other things. We will see, I will keep the updates comin. Hopin to have the stem swap done this weekend or early next week, then I will feel a little better gettin the front end squared away. I can then focus on the rear end.

This is why I chose the CBR swinger. All that is required is making a bottom shackle for the shock linkage. No upper shock mount to build, since it is all part of the swinger. Really helped me fast track this project. If I went with a regular swinger I would definately have to have a welder design all the mounts. My brother is good enough to build and weld up a shackle. I just plan to over-build it due to how heavy harleys are. This photo is an example of really well built shakle. Guy boxed in the whole bottom frame tube.
