What swing arm did you use?
--- End quote ---
it's the stock '85 KX500
sandblaster:
Ok, that's what I thought.
Have you given any thought to stiffening it?
I noticed with my Supermoto setup that the swing arm really flexes a lot.
I wondered if it would perform better being stiffer..
To test, put the bike leaning against a wall, then push the top of the rear wheel towards the wall...
Mine really moves.
Abbott:
no i havent. certainly would perform better if it was braced. ill have to check mine when it comes off the lift.
last night i updated the top triple tree to a ducati 749 set up with 53mm woodcraft clip ons.
Abbott:
hey guys. havent posted in a while. fitted the KX with an ohlins rear shock and had Larry decomp the head. fires right up with the roll starter now. need to respring, revalve the shock next
Brute:
Weird. I could see the pics last night, now some of them I can not. It is coming along! Looks great!
