Default 2nd Panther Project started

Bought a 2000 wrecked R1. Just the forks are bent. Looks brand new $500 dollars
I bought a carrier housing off ebay $12 dollars. Had a 31 spline 30mm shaft made $300 dollars. Made the carrier unit and started on the frame and made the trailing arms.

Hi gotted, you should post updates a little more often, anyway could you post some more pics, and one thing from what I'v read some say that the trailing arms are a bit weak as per plans and tend to break. So they build them out of bigger square tubing, though I'm sure that you'v read this too. Anyway what are you thinking for shocks, front brakes? body pannely etc. please fill all of in on this stuff,

The carrier looks good, especially the sprocket backing plate diameter.
