Let us know how you go then champ!!

Found this while trolling youtube

At first glance I thought "oh no, a wooden seat!!" but the more I look at it the more I like it.

Cut and weld until it works. That's what its all about. lol

I knew it was something like that.

I read somewhere that it is good practice to keep the sprockets with a prime number of teeth. Something to do with stopping the chain from hitting the same part of the sprocket repetitively, supposed to extend the life of the system quite a bit.

Trial fitted my new shocks that arrived in the post!

I'm in too. Let another Aussie win!!

Bit the bullet and ordered some of these for $165.00 AUD delivered. I've read mixed reviews on them but stuff it. I should have them in a week or two. Rear swingarm is out to fit new bushes and start fabricating the brace.

ok, forget it.

Has anyone braced the 400 frame for more rigidity? I'm interest in supporting the swingarm pivot (D in the pic) and the steering head to swingarm (A). I know its a katana frame but something similar should work on the 400.

Does anyone know of a factory bike with 15 inch rear shocks. I'm still filtering through google trying to find something to suit. The Zrx1100 shocks are good size and look great, but I'm worried that they might be a bit too stiff for a 400.

Thanks for the tank JRAY, I love it. Just the look I was after. You wouldn't have a spare swingarm by any chance?
