Yah, kinda. More of a hardening issue & very random. Unlike the, "oh, you have an 03 999?....do yourself a favor & shoove it off a cliff".

So, is there anything happening with the project at this moment? Or is it on hold for the time being?

The frame is finishing being fabricated, parts are still being acquired, and the motor has yet to be started being built...

Ah shit. Forgot you drug the general into the NMMR.... Thanks.

I think that's called fare game.



Nice bike, Stu

Although progress is slow, when anything does come up...  It's quite nice.  Lower shock mounts machined, awaiting the pretty tig welding.

Rear wheel used for this mock-up photo session is off of a Sport-Classic 5.5" with a 180/55/17 on it.  I'll be rolling a 17"x4.25" with either a 160/60/17 or a 150/60/17 depending on how it looks....

BTW, my personal reaction to these photos is:  drool

Was just looking through some of my photos and noticing the dates they were taken....

This particular re-build (#4 for this bike) is already over 3 years in the works.   Roll Eyes  Someday I'll learn that it's more fun to ride them than cut them apart...  Oh well, won't be long now!  [moto]

Vertical support straight up from the rear motor mount to the upper tube.  It's the least offensive, and structurally strongest w/o adding add'l tubing.

Yeah, having held that aluminum round tube swinger in my hand...I've gotta say, she's one of the lightest Duc swingarms I've EVER held in my hand...  Next heaviest (CF arms notwithstanding) would be the 749/999S&R arm like what's on RatFink's 749S.  Those look massive, but are soooooo light.  Wink
