Re: Mono-shock (whitexk) complete
Did you get the brakes figured out? When it stays consistently warm we'll have to hook up for a ride.

Re: Mono-shock (whitexk) complete
This was one of the build threads I checked in on constantly on 650rider. When the site went down, I wondered if I would ever see the finished project. Thanks for sharing one of the coolest builds I have seen. It's absolutely perfect.

Re: Mono-shock (whitexk) complete
thanks guys for all the compliments, i just figured out tonight that this was the new 650rider forum. so this is it, the finish product.
i started my original build at 650rider so here you guys go. and dan, we rebuilt the brakes 2 years ago and since then due to the dryer outlet going to the garage they have rusted. it gets pretty humid sometimes, so we are rebuilding them now (waiting on parts) |

Re: Mono-shock (whitexk) complete
that is a sweet ride... I followed it on 650rider before it closed down, I love the mono-shock idea, I don't really want a cafe type of bike when I build, I am looking for the bobber style, but got some great ideas looking at your build and awesome work...
