El Superbeasto Fat-Train Episode II




As you well know I have started the transformation project on my wife's nightrain, what happened since then was a waiting exercise to recieve the part via Aramex - APO etc. I got the 17X6" rim together with a mean 200mm low profile tire, also recieved the struts Mashetti Style and a 9 inch fender. Since the transformation on a 17" was never attempted todate, I knew we would have some challenges in fitting the doughnut in the stock swing arm. We started at 8:30 and were done fitting the wheel at 18:00, including taking off the primary to change the original belt drive, a trip to the machine shop, extensive grinding and cutting in the frame. Next job in 10 days, installing the new exhaust and ordering more parts.
