    Hey Stigy, that castle lock nut on your swingarm axle - did you find a socket for that or was it a jury rig job? I need to remove the one on my NSR and I don't want to bodgy it. Be great to get a pointer to a company that may sell them.

    Cheers
    Jim

    cheers guys, fox I used a socket I found amongst a bunch of rgv parts a got a few years back, I think "the tuning works" sells them, ebay might be cheaper but I dont know what size they are,
    ruckusman Iv put a fair bit in to it but slowly over about 2 years, it all adds up but dont heart so much over a long build,

    Very nice work Stigy, and the attention to detail is outstanding.

    I love the fact that the seat isn't sticking up 3 ft in the air. Someone defended the "streetfighter" look recently by saying that the seat is inclined like that because they are stunt bikes and it is more practical when riding with the front wheel in the air. Make of that what you will. My opinion is not printable.
