Well, it certainly looks beautiful, that's for sure. Congrats on sticking with it and thanks for sharing all the details along the way. Cj
I asked the question and the only swingarm I could find similar to what he is using was a hawk 650 gt that had the top mount ,all the other were link based for the vfr's.Either way he has done a great job of it.If you use a hawk swingarm you can convert the spindle to take the VFR wheel.
Very cool - must be fun just watching other riders react to the details.
Interesting project, I monoshocked my Commando back in 94, using 89 Yam 600 wheels forks and swing arm, also put an extra Iso underneath the engine and a Norvil head steady to help with the slightly longer wheel base.
Bike rides really well, my Son an Ex Classic Racer rode it round Cadwell and was very complementary on its handling.
Hope yours is as pleasing as I found mine to be .
good luck

Now that looks effin' mean.
Please understand, I was not trying to rain on your parade. I've built quite a few racing bikes and I am always very careful, the first time I ride them after making major changes. I've been bitten a few times. What you are doing is radical rather than progressive, so the risks are greater. A friend of mine once said 'every time we fall off, we could be killed'. I never really think of it like that - however he is probably correct, especially if you don't know how to get off safely at speed.
