thanks for the info i'm the triumph guy who remarked in the thread on your bike previously , teething can be a bitch -take a leaf out of the worlds fastest indian movie and test it on utah public roads - or bring it to the aussie salt flats and blow some aussies off , well done canuck from oz

thanks for the update and pics Scott, what brand cooler were you using -make sure i never buy one , the first right side pic of the bike i reckoned it would bellow, i've seen footage from the salt flats in the 60's and the noise of the supercharged nitro/mehthanol hemi's filled the flats

I had an extra '04 Honda 600RR front end collecting dust, although they are just conventional forks, they have lots of adjustments. The original forks on the Double are Honda as well but are likely from the early 80's. They really sucked over the rough sections so it's time for an upgrade. I had an extra Busa front end too but it required too much machine work to fit USD forks, no need to reinvent the wheel everytime.

We looked at several used swingarms at a bike wreckers but didn't have any success. I also want to be able to fill the arm with lead shot and mount lead plate on the outside if needed.

Scott, iff the original forks are no good over the rough sections do you think
increasing your unsprung weight by filling the arm with lead shot will cause the back end to be no good over the rough sections ?
