I've used 3 of his kits now
2 of the vj21/vj22 banana arm and 1 vj22 braced arm
All excellent

Had it on my old hybrid, great conversion, check if they are stock or special order as special order or one of stuff takes longer than he quotes but is worth it.

excellent news....i'm not too bothered about how long it takes as this is quite a slow burn project, any 'gotyas' on the vj22 braced swing arm installation and kit?

He usually has them in stock
Pity the braced kit is more expensive due to the different tie bar set up
Sure it's in my 385 ypvs build on page 2 of the finished builds section

Straight forward fit.
Have used it on 2 of my hybrids.
You also have the choice of him supplying the link arms in different lengths.Both of my builds are running with 10mm shorter arms to increase rear ride height by about 28mm.
This makes the bike quicker steering,I haven't felt the the need to fit steering damper either.
Also gives the bike a more modern "ass in the air look"
You will have to run the chain slightly slacker due to the relationship between drive sprocket,swinging arm pivot point and rear axle height.
Depending on exhaust chamber design this could put chain run close to pipe on left because of slight slackness of chain,although my tsa pipes and chain are close,I don't have a problem

Just re-read your post and realised it for braced arm.
My post was for the banana arm.
Oops sorry!!!

Bazzer5115, the kits are very similar.
The brakets and spacers for the lower mount are identical. It's only the dog legs that as different.
The banana arm has 'normal' dog bones, whereas the braced arm has bones welded onto a pivot.
I've only had one problem with stuff from NK racing, and to be fair to Nigel he sorted it out for an amicable token fee.
I have his doglegs for the braced arm.
