Hello all . On monday 6.30 am i'm starting my last long ride this summer, going to visit a childhood friend that moved to Gävle 437 miles up north due to a girl he meet on a ski trip (i said to him that ski travel is dangerous LOL). And he have been teasing me for the last 22 years to go and visit him so maybe it's time now . So i'm riding up there on monday doing all the 437miles that day if all goes like planed. The i'm not planed the next leg of the trip ,maybe going west and invade Norway perhaps , or go north to the artic circle only around 590miles to get there from his place . Time will tell witch way i go and i going to update here as soon as i have wifi or at least when i get home at the end of next week. A good thing about visit my friend is that i'm going to see my old Suzuki XN85 Turbo that i sold to him in -92. Probably the only bike i regret i have sold . So i rasie a pint to my travel ,feel free to join Cheers Maveric

For good sake your going to make me blush . Thanks To you all . Trebor Amen to that . it have been a quite nervous day's before it all was put together again, due to the ride over to UK starting here in 16 of may. But i think i work better with some pressure . Cheers Maveric

Hi! I have always wanted to raise the rear a bit so in 2009 i bought a jackup kit before me and the wife headed for Italy with the bike look like a full touring one . And with all that load it was perfect specially in the hairpins up in the alps . But when we got home and i started to ride more solo i noticed that the chain started to eat on the rubber proctection on the swingarm and that the bike waved her ass like a maniac in high speed . So i take the jackup kit away and sold it to someone in Finland. Then i use the bike as it was build until a member of GSX1400.org (Bigone) posted up a thread about a different way to go so i pm'd him about the cad drawings of what he have done. It only raise the hight with 18mm instead of 40mm for the jackup kit. This was somewhere in the end of last year , but about a mounth ago i started to talk to people about bending new mountings for the shocks and the awnser i got was they cant do that in their machine ,this made me even more stubborn to solwe it and i did in a old bending machine wth some metal profiles to help me make something looking like this. Then after some cutting and fileing it looked ok so i removed the swingarm on the bike Then put it in the wise and then with mutch nervousity (i did not have a spare swingarm and i'm going to UK in the end of this mounth) Ops After i cut the mountings of i removed all of the old weld's so i got a good surface to weld the new ones. Then test mounted the new ones with a jigg to get it in the same position like the old ones. then of to a friend of mine that works as a welder and got him to weld them to place. Then i did a polish of the mountings for now but i think i going to powdercoat the swingarm next winter. Mounted the bike together and noticed that the chain was f**kt so i have to mount a new one before we hit the road to UK. so this how it looks now A closer pic Then last weekend i testride the bike both with me solo and together with my wife ,turn in a little quicker now but it's not wawing it's ass att high speed and i get the riding hight when we go two now so i dont have to be afraid to pinch my fot between the ground and the gearchanger . A BIG thankyou to Bigone for the drawings that made this possible to do . Cheers Maveric

Think it was a close call when i posted my pic 1min before dave closed the thread . Cheers Maveric
