[starfazer]

been painting bits tonight,all primer but it's starting to take shape. going to get paint and laquer tomorrow. expecting various seals and bearings and stuff from wemoto tomorrow. it will be worth it, glad i have a bead blaster at work. headers getting buffed up to their naked stainless beauty over the the weekend

Look forward to the final finish pics.And the internals of the exhaust pics

Hmm,while you have the swing arm off could you do me a favour?

I need the mesurements off it to find out what other swing arm would fit.

i will do a little measure up of of the swing arm for you while its off. what do you need though. i did think about making a new alloy swing arm(jmc style) but its all a bit tooo much work. will post a sketch tom with the dimensions. friday night again and ive been on the beer in the garage.xx

I would imagine theres loads of swingarms from different bikes which would fit.
If you got the dimesnions it would'nt be hard to match one up. (cheaper and easier than making one really)

Below is the kind of measurements i could do with.
I need the width from where the axle bolt goes through.
Overall length.
Overall Width of where the the swing arm bolt goes through.



No big deal if your too busy,it just saves me a little messing about.

Oh i just ordered a ktm lc4 mudguard from ebay (copycat ) so looking forward to that coming.

Thanks

XR650L would be my first bet. Same wheels?
BTW, I already know XR600R wheels don't fit.

I was gonna answer him but wasn't sure if he was being sarcastic

I was wondering whether to suggest anything, but i thought, 'what the hell you only live once'.

Hi guys, been putting it together over the weekend, been a a long process though as i have 2 kids that need entertaining.
swingarm looks better silver, as do the the forks and yokes.
still got the tank to paint

dave, i did do a sketch of the swingarm for you but its lost in the kids stuff, ill find it and post it for you

put on some alloy bars too. waiting for some fork slider bushing from honda as i wasted one of mine stripping the forks.

hopefully back on the road in the next week or so
