I'm not putting bags on the swingin' arm, I will use transverse leaf spring

Far fewer than I purchased. Remember the buzz from your dashboard when the radio was on? john

Rusto, you have peaked my interest. I second the post a "how to" request. john

I'm thinking 6" stretch in the back, either frame or swing arm not sure which (or maybe witchery). Spent some time dropping the diff off the blocks so I made more blocks. And after all that I still don't have the XS part on the right plane, I guess I need more blocks. I'm waiting for spokes...
