That 'thing' with the front swingarm: I've cut the hell out of many Duc's but that... well, I'm just thinking it's a first year engineering student who took a welding class and is so full of confidence that... somebody needs to tell that boy to put down the torches. (crack-pipe & welder)...
You gotta give him partial credit for making a new swingarm instead of just modifying a stocker ( ans a reasonable facsimile of the real one at that)
