"Just happened to have some titanium lying around".........lol Very cool bro I had the spindle made as i couldnt find a 20mm one with a 20mm thread on the end . All started out when i enquired with pro bolt if they made M12 ti bolts . Helpful chap gave me the number of a guy who makes spindles and big ti bolts for race bikes .

New spindle and adjuster blocks fitted . Was a little worried that something was going to be wrong but all dimentions were spot on . (only measured it about 6 times )

Only thing left to do on the swingarm now is weld 2 peices of ally to the end of the swingarm so a 10mm threaded rod can go from the adjuster block to the end to pull the wheel back rather than push it as current set up , should make wheel adjusment easier .

In the process of making a new exhaust manifold . The one im using now was made back in 2008 , has worked very well but im not 100% happy with the area where the pipes go into the turbo . Going to have an external waste gate this time so i can play with the boost pressure . . Using up my left over titanium bar i had and making some flanges . Total pig to machine . 3 or 4 hours on a big radial drill resulted in some 39mm holes in the bar .

Inspirational build - well done - especially like the drop top clamp to regain lost fork length.
