Parts are looking great! And give the "shocks" a chance, they may "loosen up" after some use......
Thanks.

You are doing some extremely nice machine work, sir. NOT to criticize, that is NOT intended, but, from all the bikes I have done in the eons of racing and street, I, personally, never have liked the eccentric axle, nor swing arm pivot round adjusters. That said, your work is flat over the top beautiful, and I hope the eccentric adjusters work well for you.
No offense taken Tuner. The eccentrics were more a product of exercise than anything else, to see if I could do it. It was also for a little more individuality, there are not many that do eccentrics on there builds, especially modified swingarm homemade ones. The last piece that sealed the deal for them was some motorcycle picture book I have has 2 different vintage Kawi racers in it that have them on, one was the kr250 and the other was a zx/gpz 750 race bike with non-factory eccentrics. I took some styling ques for the holes in my adjusters from these bike, they are not identical but fit right in with them. The hold down clamps for the adjusters are based on the looks of the 80's/90's zx ninjas that used eccentrics.
I think you are right in them not being the best thing since sliced bread but I am pretty sure I will be able to get them to work out ok.
