Swing arm 98% finished and the seat placed and ready for side and top metal.

I somehow got lucky and this RARE item popped up! what you are looking at is a factory Puch kickstart!!!! Ouch on the wallet...go big or go home right? NFG

Same here bro, sorry for your loss :(. My grandparents are all gone too :(. Remember all the good times and carry on ........

sorry about your grandma dude, all my grandfolks are long gone, sucks.

But I'm stoked to see this finished.

Sorry for taking so long to get back into progress on this build. Lost my Grandma to cancer and really did not feel like doing shit anymore. Well I am done grieving and I am BACK!

Tonight I made the swing arm, it is maybe an hour from being finished. Have to make the cross brace and box in the area that bolts to the frame. Removing the metal and putting a plate of steel back to the swing arm.





Used a tape measure to make the height even and used the frame to space them from one another. Slight tweaking on the left side to do.


Note that the wheel is just placed there to gauge if the arms are close enough. They are indeed, I am cutting the outside box out and boxing in the tube and doubling the metal for the axle holes.


This is roughly the distance I am looking for in final placement. Stock is 13" and to the end of the new arm it is 19", so someplace around 16" will be the final bolting.

Dude this thing is sick! I can't wait to see the finished product!

[F34R]

Ohh and F34R amazing build. but updates?

I took off a week from work, so this will be done and running(hoping) by this time next week.

I have the swing arm, cafe seat and engine top end to build. That is all I have left.
