My rear end. powder coated swingarm. shock rebuild and new bearings everywhere.

My biking history before the R1 was a Kawasaki ZXR 400 for 5 years and a Yamaha RD125 a long time ago.

Image

and before anybody asks, the ZXR 400 was NOT lowered.

Cheers Bub, front end rebuild nearly finished so fill post full pics soon.
