Nice job. Do you have any pics of the machined hub you can post?

Final fitup is complete. The pulley hub modifications was NOT fun! If ANYONE is thinking of ever doing this I will walk you through it. There is A LOT of machining required to the hub as well as major fender modification (specifically at the front end near the seat horn).

Lots of bodywork left to do to get the fender lookin nice. And then a new set of bag brackets...

Here are a few pictures of the progress...



CALIPER BRACKET - fitup before welding



Above is the original post outlining the cushdrive hub modification. Any good machinist should be able to follow the pictures. Cost me $165, if anyone is interested in doing this mod shoot me a PM.

yan, I had to make new top z-brackets and I had to narrow the filler panels. Not too bad if you have access to a sheetmetal fab shop.
