Right here goes. Been collecting parts for a while. I bought the swinging arm knowing it was for an SRAD off the old Old Skool site with the idea of putting it in the slab side, but got talked out it. So SRAD it is then. This is what I`m aiming the bike to end up looking like.  Never been into polishing as once you start, where do you stop. The arm had been polished at some point, so flatted it back with scotch bright. It was sold as a Harris WSB spec arm, emailed a couple of pictures to Harris & they confirmed it is one of theirs.   Made a frame, to hold the er frame. Saves the frame skidding round the floor.  Machined the arm, as the weld stopped the cups sitting square & flush with the bearings.  New bearings  First build up  The forks are K7 750. The lock stops needed modifying. But good old Suzuki the stem is the same.  |

In that picture from the rear, the swinger looks nearly as big as the mainframe! Nice though!

Just done a bit of interwebing looks like the conversion needs quite a bit of cut & shutting, so for the mean time I`ll stick with the 750. But as Busaash`s add shows it wouldn`t cost that much. Hmm leave that with me. |
