First. Here are some old threads I started about this build.

Built a new swing arm to accept a 5.5"x16" wheel with a 200/60/16 tire. Got a master and caliper from a Harley for the rear brakes. Widened the rear fender and made a whole new seat. (seat still needs a little more padding up front to look a little better and flow with the tank better).
Stripped the tank to bare metal because I had to repair a leak on the front left corner. I really liked the look of bare metal so I wire wheeled the crap out of it and painted a black stripe down the center. The bars I made, I also wire wheeled the crap out of. So the tank and bars are bare metal with Gibbs penetrant on them to keep them from rusting. We'll see how well that works. It's been a couple weeks and so far no rust.
I guess that's about it. enjoy. And yea, yea, yea. I know it looks like a hill climber.

I think that's the first time I've seen a usable rear disc on this bike. Well done, I really like the bars and choice of stickers too...

The repurposed fanny pack is a nice touch.

Nice! Kinda funny that the rotor on the back is bigger than on the front. Shoulda swapped them out.

Just a little right up towards the very front of the swingarm on the the bottom. Very little on the top. Put a couple strips of sticky velcro (the padded side) where it was taking the paint off. That seemed to do the trick. I've put about 2000 miles on since the new swingarm and it's holding up very well. Looks like I'm just about due for a new piece on the bottom. Was really surprised how well the velcro is holding up to the slap.
