Finally got started on my mono project. I am fitting an 84 GPZ 750 arm and mono shock. For more details and to see input from others who have been down parts of this road go here www.kzrider.com/forum/5-chassis/563448-8...hack-job-in-progress

Cut the donor dogbone mount off.

Looks like it was made to go there.

Got the top mount cut out of the donor and ground down to fit.

Attachment 15.jpg not found



Of course the master cylinder is in the wrong place.

Attachment 13.jpg not found



Once I got that out of the way I could fit in the top mount.

Attachment 17.jpg not found




I had to trim the back side of both motor mounts to clear the top mount. It looks like the master will be able to go back to close to original position. Have to take a break now and get some other work done and do a little ice fishing!

Thanks guys, it looks worse than it is Wireman. Stuff had to come off :cheer: This is a good project for someone who isn't a machinist as it is just alot of note taking, measuring, cutting and grinding. I am amazed at how close these frames are. Of course I have a long ways to go and plenty of opportunity to screw things up yet.
