did some expirmenting with the tail yesteday, stole this loop off an xr350 frame i had, it fist really nice and i like the look. its just big enough for one person to be comfortable and have some room to push back and lean down when your feeling racey.
the rear now looks kinda moto-gp ish, and i like it, I think it clicked something in my head and i have an idea of what i want it to look like. Im gona paint the frame and tins in the bright red I have, then accent that with some bright while (rims and paint the knee dent that). should look lind of retro like a 70's ferrari p-3
I welded the rear loop on and bent the rear tubes up, ill weld two tubes from the pivot point area up twards the rear, im thinking ill actually cross them in an x pattern to make it look a bit cooler.
also welded the tabs for the dogbone link, now i can buy some heim joints from mcmaster and build some adjustable links to get my ride height where i want it. BTW, the rear suspention feels like a dream, firm but forgiving....verrryyyy niccceee
love this pic...
gona weld in a piece of sheetmetal on the back loop where it angles up, then ill sink all my led/ brake turn/markers in
