got a little bit done today. got the swingarm back which for me i had 5mm machined off each side + the spindle 5mm by using the top hat supplied by luckymoto7 the top hats add 3mm using this method i was able to use the dust caps on the end of the bearings still. fitted the new needles from bolton bearings next ground off the centre stand brackets so the linkage would fit the arm fitted perfectly and next i need to find a fzr 1000 exup shock as recommended David Houghton + sort out the linkage the ace arm is a shorter see photo below but i think it will be fine as from the centre of the bolts its only 15mm shorter.

had a play about with the linkage today. going to need some spacers for the bottom part where the rocker fits the frame. 2x m12 x 12mm wide swap the inner bushes around in the rocker. then it's going to need a some top hat reducers for the top shock bolt as its 10mm. + a new bolt so far i am using the ace dog bones and shock. i ground a little bit of the swingarm where the shock goes through as it might catch a little.

done a bit more to the linkage today. added the spacers at the bottom of the frame i also had to change bush to fit the 12mm bolt which i just had one cut down from a rgv25o i had kicking around. added some top hats spacers to reduce the frame + added top bolt to a 10mm so far all pretty much the thunderace linkage.

This is a very interesting thread, thanks for the detailed pix, it's a real "how to" guide. Looking forward to following it along and seeing it done.
