78 KZ750 w/ 03 Gsx-r Swingarm, Monoshock mounting questions (Pics)

yeah like I said in my first post. I wasnt too familiar with monoshock setups. But I am pointed in the right direction now.
Seeing the stock pic helps a lot. I didnt have anything to go on brfore, every other pic I found had the lower fairing covering the linkage.
One thing you might want to do is go to a dealership and just bring your digi cam and take some pics of any angles you want. :thumbup:

So I tacked this up. I dont like it, ha!
I do like it, but I have the mounting piece level with the bottom rails of the frame. I think it needs to be rotated up to match the angle of the shock. With it this way, the shock is too close to front of the swingarm. And it just doesnt look right. I think with it rotated, and braced it will look nice.
I plan to brace the rear of the mounting plate with 1" tubing extending from the sides, to the top. They will have a little bend, and be at about a 40 degree angle.
So what do you think?
Does the design look safe?
Oh and I determined the height finally by using the distance from the swingarm bolt, to the mount on the stock frame.

Once it's gusseted and welded, it will be safe. :thumbup:
Remember, a good GMAW weld should be like 65K T.S., and I don't think that's too little for something like this. hahah

My bike has been in hibernation for a long time. I am hoping to wake it up now!
I had a few people asking me for updates.
Here is where I am at now. I have the front and rear end mounted, and it seems to be working well.
I am finishing up the tail section now. my plan is to shorten it about 7 inches. basically taking the passenger section out.
Here is are two pics I took to give you a idea of what I want to do.
What do you think? Think its too short? I like the short look.
I will post some detailed pics of the monoshock mount later. I only had a chance to snap a couple pics.
