gunna be a good build this i think as your other works been top notch,
the linkage pit bikes are like marmite you either love them or hate them,
they are very forgiving bikes if you make a mistake they seem to correct there selfs well and suspension is lovely!!!

A little update.

I've got to chop up my exhaust a little for it to fit, as you can see it's no where near fitting.

It needs to be re-positioned and extended to fit this frame, then i need to get the angle right to mount the can.
I've made a tube to fit the can, just need to sort out the rest.

Collar fits nice and snug

The can has a removable sound baffle fitted at the moment, will see what it's like.

Also cut my pegs off to re-position them as i don't like how far forward they are, so moving the back should be more comfortable sitting and especially standing.

Tacked some wire to the blanks so i could hold them in-place

Welded them up, then skimmed then back.

Should be able weld them back on tomorrow.

Also cut some plate to weld to the rear mount to make it a solid bracket coming of the bottom of the frame instead of just a floating mount. (a bit like an LXR) It'll still pick-up on the swing-arm pivot as well.
