I'm gonna be running a Yosh. I've never fitted it to the bike, so I don't exactly know where its gonna run.

That is one awesome looking swingarm Leon!

It may be tough to put spools on an under braced arm if you have an early yosh like this - or on a regular arm for that matter. The yosh mounts off the passenger peg an runs underneath the swingarm. Not much room inbetween pipe and arm either, IIRC.

On mine I am using the lower shock bolt as the spool mounting location and I still had to shorten the pipe to pick the rear up with the stand.

How about this Leon. Weld in some inserts as close to the back of the swingy as you can. I might end up doing the shock bolt thing like Sander, but I don't want to limit myself before its all together.

It may be simple enough to modify a stand to work around the issue?
Leon is very good at thinking outside the box, ang u have some great design skills yourself.
I had to slide a threaded rod all the way through the axle on my cbr to put mounts on it, since it had no provision on the arm.
just a thought.

To be honest. i just did it for a quick fix, so i can hold the bike up for chain lubes and other maint. i still need to find a better solution. But it will be fine for most jobs, i think. i will have to weld something on the arm or just use a jack for tire changes.
as it turned out, i replaced the spools with sliders, last week. the sliders neck down on the base so i can still get the stand on them just like the spools.

one of the hard things about trying to do custom work when you don't have the bike for test fitting,is being able to forsee all the little obstacles that can hang you up.
it looks like that yosh gets pretty cozy with the swing arm :ohmy: .
