Did I miss it or did you mention where that swingarm came from and what width tyres you are running?

I fabricated the swingarm
The tyres are 18x8.5-8

Cracking effort mate! Looks like a bought one! I actually thought it might have been froman RV90 - looks a lot like the one on my Skyteam RV90 copy.

What's the build quality like on the t-Rex. Never seen one in the wild

As with all Skyteam stuff it's pretty ordinary. All the bolts fall out and the "Stainless Steel" rusted within 12 months.

I still like it though, will be going up for sale soon though.

Thought as much.
That's why I like hondas......they're good.

Been prevented from entering the shed for a while now. First scorching heat, then rain. As I work from a shipping container, any extreme of weather drives me indoors.
I finally got the forks modified
I moved the bottom triple mount moved up 50mm and the stem shortened. I cut the stem and inserted a turned spigot into the two halves with a good 6mm gap which I then filled with weld then a couple of drilled holes 30mm each side of the join were also plug welded to further tie the spigot to the stem completed the join. I've done it before and it works well.
The bottom bearing race will need to be packed up a couple of mm as the atc70 and z50r setup is very slightly different.

Also got the atc bars a bit straighter and fixed the brake perch which I will use for the clutch as it is on the left hand side and I don't need a front brake at this stage.
