vic,
i am pretty sure i used 1/4 x 2" .
i'm not currently close to it.
but,
i will verify that and let you know for sure.
it worked out real nice.

i machined some bungs to mount the rearsets,and got them welded on.

here is both sides cleaned up,





with bungs welded on,

That rearset setup looks vaguely familiar. ;)

Great work as always Leon.

bluezbike,
thanks for the kind words.
the chain is long,the pics i posted it is hanging pretty slack.
i am hoping to get away without running a spring loaded chain tensioner wheel.
but,
if we have to we will.

Vic,
I used 1 1/2" x 1/4 " flat stock between the rear upper mounts.

i was looking at the bike yesterday and the airbox pretty much touches the back of the engine, so I wont be doing a brace above the pivot. thanks for the info though.

i finished the steering stop last night.
so unless i have missed something i believe i have fulfilled my commitment and am ready to hand the bike back to it's owner to finish up.

this allowed me an eighth of an inch clearance between the triples and the tank,with no rubbers.




hopefully i get pics when it's done and i will update this thread.

thanks for lookin,
