True and it should be fun finding out .
And it all depends on what I can find CHEAP

Braced swingarm and fork brace is all about the looks on these bikes. It's questionable whether it's going to make any difference unless you pushing things to their limits and riding at the level of Moto GP racers. And that would be on a Mori not standard.

Not got a view on the swingarm, but on the fork brace, the difference can be felt on the road. it lifts the speed at which they tie themself in knots by 15mph

I have biggest problem with hard braking on track, front is not responsive and I don´t have bike under full control, that costs a lot of time. I can improve myself, but believe that better front would help too.cybercarl wrote:Braced swingarm and fork brace is all about the looks on these bikes.

No problem with rear and standard swingarm, ok for stock engine.

Well... Not to argue with you... buuut... It shows you're one of the midgets... ;)cybercarl wrote:Braced swingarm and fork brace is all about the looks on these bikes.

I have video somewhere of me riding my bike bone stock, where you can visually see from the bike behind how my swingarm twists in the corners... And i proceeded to snap my front fender in half bottoming out the forks... And, no I'm, not MotoGP material...
If you like me are 220 lbs, the stock fork is completely inadequate... It twists and flexes visibly... Same for the swing... It's simply a matter of physics... With a brace on the fork, and the correct springs and valving, it's OK... But not close to what an USD fork is...

Was gonna find a way to cut the helmet open and bury the headband inside it though, then seal it over. So the ears always appear on it

That's a good idea and nice to Macs broken clocks being recycled. Stick some Carbon wrap around the outside and they will look like they are factory made.
Is that an SP top yolk?

I hope the loom is still ok on the clocks that mac has for me ?!!cybercarl wrote:That's a good idea and nice to Macs broken clocks being recycled. Stick some Carbon wrap around the outside and they will look like they are factory made.Is that an SP top yolk?

I thought about carbon to hide the weld but then I thought what's the point as it won't be easy to see with a fairing on
The top yoke is 92 blade as if the front end .
