Don't show me front end swaps, I've only just talked myself out of one.

Nah im happy with the swing arm as it is. I mean, its not the best looking swing arm but i also dont think any other swing arms would suit it. Ive seen a few conversions whilst googling and i just dont think any of them looks right. Especially single sided.. not a fan!

Yeah, the old mans got a banging setup. Certainly made the front swap easy.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys

Next i wanna try mount my headlight abit closer to the forks. Im thinking a tracker style aluminium plate mounted flush to the forks and then chopping the headlight casing to the correct angle and mounting that to the plate.. If that makes sense?!

This kinda thing (excuse my dodgy mspaint photoshopping!)...

I agree on the headlight, the outline looks neater in your photoshop pic.

Just had this little beauty turn up



Im hoping to be able to mount it in the back of the headlight casing if there's gonna be enough left after i've butchered it to move it further between the fork legs! We shall see!! If not, il be making a bracket to mount it as flush with the level of the top yoke as poss.

Looks good, out of interest, what have you told your insurance company? My insurance almost doubled when I told them I had a GSXR front end.
