So the tear down of Veruca is complete and now we are on to the cleaning up of the frame. Two issues popped up last night, first the swing arm...The first frame we got was not a GS 450, it was a GS400, which has a slightly different geometry to it, and so we need to deal with the placement of the rearsets so they don't interfere with the swing arm, second we need a roller bearing race for the pivot, and spacer. Now that seems pretty straight forward, but we can't ID the swing arm to order one. We think it is off a early 90's GSX, but we are not to sure. Then the forks...the triple tree is off the 400 doesn't fit the 450...from the previous 450 we built I know the fork legs are 34mm and so are the ones we have, so it looks like I will need to make a run to C-bus to pick up the ones that came on the bike...oh well another trip to hang with J Rod and snowboard at Mad River, and Bodega for a few beers...tonight begins the de-tabbing of the frame...grinders ready!
