Mike....yeah, I read up on CBRRT's swingarm install....nice job of it too!
With the skills you have mentioned, I recon you could make a modified front sprocket cover which houses a bearing for an extension to the output shaft and then running the chain on the outside of the frame run as fat a tyre (centred) as the swing hub will allow.....best of luck with it mate.
Good story well told too.......keep the FJ in the circle!

Cheers

FJZ1 1200 - It'll do me just fine.
Timing has much to do with the success of a rain dance.

Did Phil Hacker from the UK FJOC not build an FJ with a VFR rear end?  He might be the guy to talk to.

OK GUYS  sorry its been a little while but i do have an update for you all....

firstly thanks for all the warm welcomes and interest in my little topic/project
thanks for the suggestion on that Pete ill try and contact him.

thankyou for the compliment harvy.

ok now on to current news. the bike is now not going to our good friend because hes having alot of health issues and hasn't been in contact about the fj1200. that sounds bad but it not because life has improved and i am now paying off my friend for the bike. I will be selling both of My 125's once the relevant repairs have been done on them and using the money for my full test.....

It GETS BETTER!! My good friend who owns the fj1200 said as soon as i have my licence sorted I can have the bike!!!! (and finish paying it off at normal rate)
i have also been talking to a good friend who lives over in America and his brother does custom seat upholstery so I've done a rough layout of my seat design and should be getting a custom seat made with my logo and colour scheme and gel inserts and shape.

I have a brief video of the bike that i recorded on my phone. I will take another at some point though as you cant hear the bass in the exhaust properly



i forgot to take some good pics as i was that over the moon just to hear it and yes that is my daft face in the video at the end.. ill get pictures asap

oh and just a glimmer at the wheel i intend to use:

Any new updates on the bike? I was hoping to see the VFR swingarm (and possibly a "how to") on the bike.
