Spent 2 evenings playing with rear ride height and chain to swingarm clearance - don’t know exactly where I want to be so I have designed in as much adjustment as possible with 3 lower mount points. Along with the shock ride height adjuster it gives me full range between the lower and upper settings. Will attack with drill this weekend after a little more pondering, it will end up a bit different to this sketch
Lower mount finished for welding in - just need to check the top chain run for clearance (might have to drop the bottom half of the engine in to check but will try and do it by measurement first) - hopefully I have built enough adjustment into everything without needing major surgery. The swing arm is currently on the second lowest out of 4 positions, the shock on the highest out of 3 with the ride height adjuster on the shock on the lowest position. A large rear sprocket may also help if extra clearance is needed. The pub is beckoning as a reward I think
Flipping impressed with this, I’m going pub later as well as I think it deserves a toast, bloody impressive work
Engine dropped in, although it's piston-less at the moment, quite a struggle but needed to check sprocket requirement and alignment. I would rather go for a 525 chain instead of a 530 - it would need a 525 offset sprocket on the front but with the GPz Unitrack A1 spline fitment ANYONE KNOW WHO MAKES THEM AS SPECIALS?
Might be worth a call to "Supersprox". Used to make whatever size sprocket you wanted for just about any bike years ago. Don't know if they still do that sort of work but don't as don't get.
Thanks, I checked their web site today - they don't deal direct with customers now, only through distributors - and the distributor link doesn't work on their web site!
