2002 SV650 build -patr 6

Rethought how I was going to trim that part for the lower dog bone mount. New plan in pic below, old in the last post.

After ALOT of file and deremel work.

Not wanting to remove any more material I had to take a little off the top of the dog bone to get it angled up a hair. I didn't want it to sit level from front to rear.

Sand it smooth.

Side stand switch is going to be in the way.

Not any more.

New plan. (cat food and bubble gum back again y'all ... I'm going to have to work on that.)

Works like a charm though... Chain run MAY be an issue but I have to wait and see, think it's close enough to the front sprocket to be out of the way.

Plenty of room to work with now.

And dog bone will go something like this.

Cardboard template in place.

Transfer to 6x3 piece of 1/8" thick aluminum. Tools of the day shown, vertical bandsaw for metal cutting is next on the list, that's for sure...

Duplication jig setup for the other plate.

Pop them in for a look.

New spacers are next up. Material has to be purchased and turned up in the lathe.

A little bit of a bigger picture of how it's looking.

Thanks fer lookin'....
