That is friggin' awesome. Excellent work!
Here some info on build.
The youtube fotage was talin on its first run, I found the arse end was a little low so have now pushed the swing arm down further & now frame is level & looks much better now

I like that pic
I was concerned about having a side stand protruding below the frame but I see in your pic its mounted slightly up the rear frame tube I might be able to steal this idea (didn’t steal any PMA, s, make my own I do), but were does it sling to & will it just bob up & down & be a problem, but at the end of the day plenty of trees around.

I'd say copy KTM's design. Make it from aluminum so it won't be heavy.
Its spring here & its blody snowing in areas around sydney & fucking cold

Looking to rego this bike may need engineer’s certificate for mods done.
With my new mono shock swing arm, What engineering stress issues would I have you think, the top mount is a 4mm plate welded on to the frame triangle were the tank mount would be then two tags welded below with a bolt through the top shock what stresses would this course on the frame or is this not a problem
