I'm new to the 2 strokes so I figured I'd post a few pics of the progress so I could get some feed back!

Gotta get the new bearings in the swingarm and get a new bearing carrier and it will be back to a roller..... Time and money!

Your frame has had the swinger mounting area re made. Did you run it before taking apart?

Yes it works fine! I will eventually buy an aftermarket no-link setup! Have to finish it before I can go aftermarket frame route!
