thing handles on RAILS! wow. very impressed with it actually. still gotta figure out one more thing i noticed... i need a spacer in there somewhere that's about a quarter inch thick or so.. not even. sprocket slid out of the cush drive a little bit

 

[Juggler]

Glad it worked out for you.

 

[GoldenChild]

Where does the spacer go?

In the wheel or on the swingarm???

Rob,The busa rear spacers should work perfect..make sure the spacer inside the hub didn't fall out??

Bastids......Out riding!!!

well i dont think i left a spacer out... maybe installed one wrong? i dunno.. i'm gonna pull out the measuring tape and see if there is any difference from stock for some odd reason.

the spacer... if i were to guess... would need to be on the side of the brake bracket. since the chain tracks straight and the cush drive got pulled out to that side, i just need to push the wheel over that way a little was my guess. didnt want to just torque the #### out of the thing and see what happens lol.

Looks cool,Alot cleaner than stock.How much shorter is it?

 

[Guest]

well i had to cut 6 links off my chain, so its considerably shorter just not sure the exact amount yet

ride yestrday

 

[fstbusa]

how did you support the bike while installing it? Going to be doing an arm soon and wanted to know.

 

[Guest]

what I did was I used a scissor jack from my car, jacked up the bracket on the bottom that the belly pan attaches to, and had someone hold the bike upright to prevent a tip over. then slipped some jackstands underneath the rearsets and it worked great.

 

[Guest]

heres a pic... that bar going across was so that i could tie the swingrm to it when installing the shock since i had to take it out and put it in nearly 100 times i swear.

 

[nitrousjunkie]

How does the bike handle now?

 

[Guest]

flippin awesome

 

[vman1300]

It does look great. I am still up in the air on that mod. I know the shorter wheelbase will be a huge advantage for the type of riding I do.

Could you get me a wheel base axle to axle?

 

[Guest]

what do i look like here? lol. jk. it's not just simple bolt on I had to do quite a bit of grinding to make this thing work, and i'm sure most people would be scared to get into what i just did lol.

ill measure it later but i think its somewhere around 57" .. that was a rough measure
