Got the chain on but as the pic shows,the chain is running seriously close to the frame
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 ?

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
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 would love to,but no
I was thinking today if my LC has KR1S front and back end plus KR carbies to how much % Kwak is my bike (Does this make sense)

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.
The build looks to be comeing along very nicely indeed.
What color are the wheels going to be?
And what rear mudgaurd will you use? (zxr style hugger perhaps...
)

Now a rear hugger would be good
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

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

SNAP
This was taken about 1988
Instead of keeping it and maybe storing it ,i sold it to three people who
went off in different directions with the parts
Found an even earlier pic
Anyone mention Frankie Goes To Hollywood
