correct Roy a rare photo of me actually sitting on my bike.
luckily you cant here me making engine noises lol.
broooom brooom :D

haven't tested clutch on the bike running but it pushes the rod no probs,
just not sure if it has enough travel yet not really how much travel the rod moves but from my best guess it cant be more than 10mm which is about what i have.

Read through the thread again and cant see any reference to the front end being temporary so forgive me if i missed it but isnt that wheel a bit flipping close to the exhausts?
If not now how about under deflection?
If its just the angle of the dangle of the picture i would want to know that in traffic it wasnt going to melt either!
Sure you got it under control though.

i had a chance to tinker on the bike today,
fabed a rear brake arm to the swing arm,
i need to get it welded in place.
fabed some 1" risers for the front fender to work as i
was so determined to keep the 18 inch front wheel.
installed rear brake pads, bled the brake too.
