Update w/PICS Snakebyte's swingarm in frame was created by Snakebyte

Here it is, my kz in my basement fitted with the swing arm I recieved from TWT. Nothing is welded and I have not started welding on the frame yet. I'm also in the middle of stripping the black powdercoating off the gas tank. It peels right off with a little heat.

Here is a pic of the bushings I had made to fit the original race in the swingarm to the original kz pivot bolt. There are two bushings. One is in the race and the other is under the bearing race.

I grinded down the tabs in the frame to fit the swingarm. They are not grinded down all the way yet. Also the one bushing for the right side of the swingarm pivot is not in yet so the swingarm is not yet centered.

Yep I'm starting to get things in order. Does that frame look familiar? Thats the one you gave me with the engine, Thank you again for the frame and engine.

They dont hit the swingarm but they are a lttle close for comfort. I'm thinking of cutting then off. As a matter of fact it is going to be a one seater:evil: .
