Yeah hoping to get it done for summer. Still got alot of work but the main bit is mounting the rear wheel and lining up the sprokets then mount the engine. After that its fit the front forks and wheel then set the height of the rear. Fit the electrics and air bix etc. Tank and plastics and shave the seat. Lol not too much

Caliper turned up. Tried it on the wheel and it comes into contact with the spokes. Will have to space the disk which I dont really want to do or take 3-4mm off the back of the caliper. May sell it on and buy WR USD's as I have a talon caliper spacer that I got with the wheels... decisions decisions...



Its wider than I imagined lol

Exactly buddy, even if you did pay over the odds for 'em.

As long as you're happy with them and they do the job then you're sorted.

If it makes you feel any better cal that was forks only. Still need yokes.

Quick mock up again, its all wonky as i still need to cut the frame some more and modify the shock mounting points as its way too long as you can see in the photo.

I know its a **** photo but I had to.



dt rear brake caliper bracket wont fit as it too thick. Need to find time to finish the frame so the engine actually fits properly. Get some bearings for the swing arm and make the spacers so that fits. Buy some chain blocks, wr spindle and caliper bracket. It seems to be never ending.

USD's :)

Very dirty and quite a few marks on the anodizing. Will rebuild them anyway and possibly get them re anodized the same gold as the talon hubs.



Wr 400 linkage so I can fit the shock.



Yes... I have a fridge in my office.
