I had to make a decision on which suspension rocker to put on the rear shock. I would have liked to fit the NWS one, but I didn’t have the right bearings for it to work, so I ended up going with the stock one.

The bike does have a Fox shock, which is better than the standard one, because the rear suspension on these things is really, really stiff. So I installed the rear shock and the rocker arm as we worked towards turning this into a rolling motorcycle.

Here you can see we’re starting to put the handlebars on. The front brakes are coming together now, and I’m getting all the plumbing done, so we’re really getting close.

You can see the vapour blaster in the background. It was a Harbor Freight sandblaster that I converted into a vapour blaster, which is another project in its own right!
