Got the chain on but as the pic shows,the chain is running seriously close to the frame :cry:
There are several answers to how much offset i chould have and everyones bike is different,so you can't just ask them for their measurments.
Has anyone used one of those laser alignment tools ?
Are they any good ?

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I had the frame swingarm plate moved out 7mm to get the chain clearance

I'm going to leave the paint job as it is :shock:

Just some little white YPVS logos on the side panels
The red looks better in the flesh.

Just tried the Gibson pipes and headlamp brackets

I'd have a guess at 25-30% Kwak, as the chassis is the thing that truely defines a bike, followed by the engine then suspension. At least that's the way I look at it. :wink:

The build looks to be comeing along very nicely indeed. 8)
What color are the wheels going to be?
And what rear mudgaurd will you use? (zxr style hugger perhaps... :-k )
KR250 Tandem Twin (Naked) :mrgreen:

Now a rear hugger would be good :P

The only thing though what could i fit as the swinger had to have the loops
welded on for the LC shock.

What are the ZXR huggers like ?

Trouble is, it has to miss the loop and this 16mm adjuster bolt :-k

that adjustable arm looks neat - should let you get the geometry set up
right easily

wish i still had my old LC - makes me sick to think i almost gave it away #-o

modern ( :? ) strokers just don't look right without the fairings
