did you center the shock in the frame? reason i ask is because if my memory serves me right (sometimes it doesnt) the VFR has the shock offset to one side which would require you to move the upper shock mount... if the shock is offset and you only shimmed one side of the swingarm just to align the shock, the tires would not track right...

if i am all wrong please accept my apologies, your bike is going to look awesome.

 

well you cant really see in the pictures but first i aligned the swingarm and then i made spacers for both sides. after i got that straight i made new upper and lower shock mounts.

 

very cool! could you post pics of that? i was looking at doing a 900RR swinger, but the prospect of moving the shock mounts kinda scared me off...

 

all i can say is i would love to see it when you are done with it..

 

That looks kick ***, I would like to see it when your done.

 

Here are some images of my bike the progress I have made on switching the subframe. They aren't the best pictures but, oh well.

 

Here are some more pictures. I'll post more as I progress.

 

Been a while since I've been back to check for replies. I've tried so many other forums I honestly didn't expect a response. Thanks heaps.

looks great - this is precisely the info I was looking for. Did you do the welding yourself or did you take to a shop.

Any more progress since you last pics. I'm really keen to see how you cope with the seat/tank integration

Hi grwilson. I was following the progress of your streetfighter in your other thread but the thread seems to have vanished or been moved in the last couple of days. Would really love to see the updated pics with the exhaust completed.

cheers...Jas

 

somehow it got moved to the sights and sounds forum, not sure why but you should be able to see it in there.
