Here is mine ((its just mocked up in this pic). Everything stays above the frame with this setup.

I'm working on this as well. If anybody wants to make me one I will pay them.

TcBros just started selling them. They look very similar to mine,hmmm

I have started machining a shell for the stock pivot out of DOM tubing, and installing a grease fitting. You can weld them to your frame in any location you need.

I'll try to get some pics, I've been swamped with you guys

Sweet! I'll take one!

Hugh for sure going to get one of those and your lowering kit for the front forks just waiting on the hardtail first. just wondering if you changed the rake on your bike or is it stock? i am going for a similar look and is that a 21" front and one more ? how much did you lower the front?

I just found a complete brake linkage set with pivot on ebay for $25, but thanks anyways.

Thanks for the orders gang I build this stuff based on what you (the XS650 Community) need. Always glad to help, I enjoy this stuff.


My bike is "0" stretch, Deraked 2 Degrees, and lowered 3.25" in the front. The wheel is a 21" Akront laced to the stock Hub with Buchanan's Stainless Spokes...
