The bike is primarily going to be a street bike for just cruising around town with occasional highway cruising, it will never be ridden in the rain, I'm a fair weather rider, also no track or real aggressive riding. I just want to make sure it's not going to be a safety issue, the diameters and...

Everything is compatible, xs650 front and rear hubs so that's not an issue

As the title says, is there any issues running a bigger wheel in the back than in the front? I see most bikes have the same size or the front one is one or two inches larger than the rear. I ask because that's what I have and if I'm able to use I will. Rear is a 19 x 2.15 and the front is an 18...

I also had to re do the bellcrank. The one I originally used just wouldn't work to actuate the shock correctly. The design I came up with gives me about 2.5 inches of shock travel to 5 inches of wheel movement. I made it out of 1/4 inch plate and the middle pivot will have a needle bearing...

New swingarm brace and bracket for pushrod Used some 1x2 to brace the hoop to the actual swingarm Then I took some 1-1/4 square tube to make the attachment for the heim joint (rod end) of the pushrod. I made two attachment points so I could have a bit of adjustability and keep the...

Still working on it, took a break for a bit, got a little burned out. Got back to it about a month or so ago. I completely re did the back section of the frame to add a kick up for a tail section and changed the way the rear shock sub frame attaches to the rear frame rails. I was never happy...

+1 for Bung King, great selection and the best prices I've found. Plus it's fun to say Bung King :laughing:

Got the rear subframe/seat area pretty much done just need to do the finish welding and a bit of grinding. Cut some gussets from 3/16 plate and used them to brace the area where the new rear seat supports meet the frame Then I drilled a hole and welded in a sleeve for looks, will...

Cut the braces to length and tacked them in place, gussets and some bracing will be added. Swingarm brace and bellcrank are also being redesigned

Last night I worked on the seat to frame braces. Made a very simple jig Applied some heat and made some bends. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was.

Progress...

I will take a look. Thanks Leo

No, what I want is the lights to go on when the key is turned on and off when it's turned off. Take the switch totally out of the equation so she won't forget to turn them off and on.

Ya, I may go the relay route. It's for my wife's CB360 and she's a little scatter brained :wink2: so I would rather eliminate the chances of her forgetting to turn the lights off and killing the battery. The ignition is the stock points with electric/kick start and a normal battery, just want to...
