Well chaps went for little local spin yesterday on the new biuld all ok only the gear lever fell off lol hence the I've now changed it for a direct lever from an MV F4 must say a much better feel! Plus it's 1up 5down which I prefer see pics....but gutted never made the Stafford show will have to wait a year now never mind....the bike pulls well although struggled a bit though the power band but then she takes off so a bit of carb fettling needed and I'm sure the power valves are slightly seazed too...speak soon :-) Topman

Absolutely beautiful!
However the subframe/shock mount looks a bit fragile. A compressed spring exert significant force. It is difficult to see exactly on the pictures how rear suspension forces are applied to the frame. You don't want the pipes to bend or break in a bump or the subframe to wiggle. Maybe I am wrong, I just don't want you to have an accident.
I wouldn't load the cross pipe with a perpendicular force without triangulation to the main frame rails and I would probably connect downwards to the original shock mount as well.

What an absolutely stunning bike If Yamaha built that they would sell like hot cakes !! If that was my build I would never sell it, it's just soooo good. Well done, and look forward to the finished bike Dusty
