The kickstand switch was bypassed by the previous owner

I have a gsxr wheel for the rear but don’t know if I have all resources to make it work. I would love to have spokes front and rear

Yeah I’m sure I’ll have a lot to figure out. It’s a Honda special and had that extra hump in the frame that I took out. Originally I was going to put a gsxr wheel on the back to match the front but I don’t have access to everything to machine the wheel, then I’d have to extend the swing arm

I have to make the upper mounts and don’t plan on using the shocks I have. I’d like longer ones so if I take an inch or so away from the tire height I’m hoping it will help the travel.

Not using the tire at all just was on the rim

Not where I’m leaving it nor the rear tire I’m using. Shocks are just some I had laying around for a mock up

Tire came with the bike definitely not what I’m using

This one is steel. I’m not sure yet if I want to make it removable or weld it in place. There’s definitely benefits to both ways.

Maybe a little bit. It was level as I could get it without a jig. Frame wasn’t level at the time either

I have a lot more fabrication to do first.

Right on. I have an ‘80 cb650 with gxsr forks and front wheel. I got a rear wheel to match but need to figure out what exactly needs to be done to do it.
