Negative. Mounts to frame and swinger. Bearings at each point.

Re: My Mono-shock Gorilla is done!

Diggin it razzo, Although i think it would look even better with a NSR front end, billet triples, some 10's and a disk brake.

I like the yellow although im not sure of the blue touches, sometime too many colors seem to throw me off. its so simple i feel the blue isnt needed. Great polish work and i like the tasty nuts all over it. Is there anything that can be done to the seat bracket to make it sit flat. the downward slope of it looks a little weird. I think it might look better if you could get it to mount flat.


Also im wondering why you never put blinkers on your builds... Are they just not needed in your state? or do you not take them out on the public road?

Just eliminate blinkers, hand brake signal trigger, and bar mounted lighting controls. Cleans things up pretty quick with out any of those things. Although you wont be able to get it on the road here in CA like that.

Looks great! Would look nice with some 10 or 12 inch wheels though.

Unfortunately, not only is that not an option, but my speedo/tach take another two wires I just haven't spent the time to rerun everything, although that is on the agenda for my downtime.

Re: My Mono-shock Gorilla is done!

how did you 'vent' the front drum? or did you buy it that way?

i bet i could drill holes in the body of mine, but i think you probably did something nicer if you did it yourself....
