Yup. Got mine from DG; can't remember the price b/c it came with the bearing support plate and I got it as a 'kit'. But as I recall it was all very reasonable.

Hey maybe I was a bit innaccurate. The rear came from Sprocket specialist, the countersprocker, I think I ordered that from Kosman, when I bought the gusset kit.

I am surprised at the response you got, they were very helpful on the rear sprocket. I would try again. But reading all these post's is cool because I have not heard of a few of these companies. More is always better!!

You have to cut the supports off the bottom first.

I plan to put the side flappy things in a vise and bend the so that they are straight down. Then I can get a couple pieces of flat and mount it. Cool!!

I took the bolt on section out of the mystery exhaust to make it shorter. Then I made a pie cut and welded it back at an angle in order to clear the swingarm.It is also angled up a little for clearance for when I'm trying to drag a knee.:silly: I am still trying to get used to it.I still need to mountit below the brake pedal.

But you can also see the wheel and swingarm with it shorter.
It sticks out a little. Maybe I'll put a 90' elbow in it and point it straight out the left side. HMMM:dry:

Oh here is the other stuff I did. Mounted the rear master cylinder and side cover mount. Modified the stock pedal.
I plan to learn to tig weld and then redo the whole bike.
I am way out of practice and my welds are fugly. They do have good penetration though.

I see that u rebushed to use the ZRX swing arm axle. that must have been a challenge to get the bore lined up straight.
Well done.B)
