I'm guessing that the lower tubes will be more flat once it's on the bike, so putting the adjustment there won't change the ride height as much as it would by putting it on the upper tubes.

Right on the money. the swingarm is at an 11 degree angle. I built the bottom tube to be horozontal, or very close, at ride height so the adjuster wont change anything.

Thank you. Sadly he passed away unexpectedly 2 years ago to the day last sunday. I think about him every day. He was like a big brother to me.  I should show some of his work, absolutly unbelievable.  At the time of his death he was gearing up to cast his own cylinder heads for the 450 single ducatis to make them more competetive in racing. Different ports - valve angles etc.

I got my rocker arm and pushrod made. Still need to make the bearing block and weld it to the frame.

I have alot more welding, cutting, and grinding to do to the frame. The bike needs to be ridable by thursday, thats 2 days. Lots of work to do. I can handle the fab work, its the wiring issue I hope I can get resolved.

Swingarm is done (for now). Im going to ride it as is and determine if I need to brace it further. Everything is an experiment on this bike.

I'm no expert on suspension geometry, but that linkage on the swinger looks kinda f'ed up to me.
