Well I'm down to the rear sprocket that is on it's way from eBay and an advancer that R4 is looking for and if anyone else has one they can spare I need one. That's one of the things that didn't make it. Here's some pix in better light.

Very nice job Mark. A very nice balance of custom work. Too bad that you are around 3000 miles away. I'd like to see your Yoshi-bike let 'er rip.

Who is the hairy old repribate sitting on the bike? :)
Is that the same handsome dude that was on Overhaulin'?

Let us know when you get it lit up for its coming out party. I'll bet you can't wait to slip on the helmet and swing a leg over your work.

Thanks guys. You don't know how bad I want to ride it.
That's me, I didn't realize my hair was so out of control. I have been letting it grow out a bit since being on Overhaulin'. There's no way I'll catch R4 though.

Copy a way. It's an 84 GPZ750 swing arm. I used GPZ550 pivot bearing sleeves which fit in the 750 bearings and the 650 pivot bolt fits through. I cut a couple of small spacers to tighten it up. Dog bone mounts off the center stand cross bar and added another cross bar where I wanted to mount the upper shock for the ride hight I wanted. The shock goes where the air box was, it's really not that hard.
