Minor update time!
Had another wee go at the rear end today.
Well, the good news is that the gap looks to be only about 5mm!
The Fazer swingarm has two dust-cover-like things that sit over the needle bearing faces at each end of the arm. I measured the Bros arm minus these covers, so may be able to get away with a washer or two either side. Something to consider!
Unfortunately, setting up the suspension is going to be a bitch. There simply isn't enough room in there for a direct shock. There looks like there might be room for the shock with a linkage, so I now need to figure out how I'm going to attach dogbones to the Bros arm.
I also went round to Deefer's for a chat: the R1 tail unit is going to fit beautifully. It may require a little "persuasion" to fit the plastic round the metalwork, but it looks like it should be good. Then it's exhaust time!
Also, hopefully I'll start work on the engine this coming week. Watch this space!
