Nice work. I like the look of the streched swingarm. I did one and I know it is tricky. I will post some photos of it. Keep us posted!

Hey, Yer bike looks sweet. I’m just getting started on my first build, but I know I want to keep the shock and swing arm for comfort, so any info on extending the swing arm and moving the shocks would be great. Thanks, Lars

OK got some up on my blog of the swing arm when i got the bike. I see a lot of people that just lower the seat rails without extending the swing arm or do both. I decided to not to drop the seat and keep the stock side covers and battery location. This is just my first build and im kinda sticking to the cheapest i can get her done and on the road. But i know after this one i want to build another i got got tons of ideas for builds.

Thanks JesC
IM trying to figure out how to get this bike to look right with a soft tail. I have a hard tail, but it sucks for the wife… Working on a new “Brat” (2up)

I got the bike with the stretch welded already on the swing arm, pretty much a basket case. But i do have a couple pictures of what it looked like when i got it. If you want to check out my blog i will post those pictures for you Jet36. . Thanks for the comment.
