Very nice work! You shouldn't ever run out of front brake with that setup. I can't wait to see how the bike progresses.
Abbott:
hahah no kidding! it's practically 1-2 finger braking on my 748 and the KX will be almost half the weight. I can always remove a caliper and rotor if it's overkill
Abbott:
made a little progress this weekend. bled the front brakes...nice and solid now. mounted up the left clip on, bar, kill switch and clutch pertch. pulled apart the rear suspension components to clean and re-grease. it sounded like a creaky bed before!
hoping to start making progress on the rear wheel this week or next. I'll have pictures soon of that work.
Abbott:
just finished machining the rear wheel to fit the 20mm ID bearing. I'll be assembling the wheel this afternoon so more pics to come soon...
Abbott:
well, my swingarm pivot bolt is shot. the shaft is absolutely butchered because a previous owner completely neglected to reinstall the bushing that rides in the bearing.
anyone know if a newer pivot bolt will work? the one I have has a 24.5cm shaft length (minus the bolt head) and is 15mm dia. at the shaft and has a 14mm thread at the end
