Shore is 'purdy!' Wow-eee! You can start on mine anytime!

I am trying to get-up the nerve to tear mine down to the frame & do something similar.

I would like to know, who stole your left swingarm cap? I see the right one.:biglaugh:

I have the same front brakes, not-mounted, as my earlier FZR1000 brakes (4-pot Sumitomos) seem to brake as-hard as I want. Maybe after I powder-coat the frame/swingarm... .

Yes its a frame reinforcer. Because once you do the chaindrive theres no support there at all I believe. Your the second one to ask be aboot it lol. Thanks guys not much more I can do this year after my 17 kosmans and maxgasser.. time to buy a house :wave bye: monkey lol

Nice work! Love those blue bolts!

About the swingarm cap?....you could save the price of a phone call and just pop the one off the right and see if it fits. :biglaugh:

You know, I didn't look that close but it appears the right side is way deeper than stock, do the pivot bolts extend out beyond the frame? If so then a stock one won't fit.

Actually its not a frame reinforcer but a middle gear case reinforcer instead. Don't forget the engine case is gutted by the output shaft so its gets a lot less sturdier than stock...

Must be something John machines cause stock caps are flat to the frame.

Yeah, I like the stock appearance the best. Good job. When you pass the literbikes in acceleration, the luggage rack makes it "really-hurt!":biglaugh:
