OK so I have lined it up, tested and I'm almost ready to strip it down to metal. I just need a few more hardware Items before I take the leap. But here are some sloppy pics of it all before I do the finish work.

Terron that is freaking awesome! Man make sure and keep us posted on your progress. I am tired of the bumpy ride my rigid frame has.............maybe some suspension will be in my future.

That's going to look great.
You have inspired me to get a torch and welder.

Do it guy!! Best part is I recycled, and 5 inches added to the wheelbase means this occ is going to fit me like a glove

I'm really surprised @ the lack of comments on this thread.....69 views and two people have had anything to say? Trust me once you sit on this puppy there is no denying what a great idea this was.

I will definitely update guys...I will also help anyone who wants to do something like this find the best way if they want. Another thing, I will not try to sell you my stuff! I just want people to start learning how to creat things themselves...Its time for America to stand back up and be counted. Time for the Craftsman to come back and say you "you think it can't be done? Well watch me do it!!!

I think that most of the builders that are willing to deal with rear suspension are dirt bike guys. I commute on some roads that seem as rough as any trail I've mountain biked on. I agree that much of the "recovery" must start in our own private garages.

LoL my town just doesn't focus a lot of funds to roads so there are quite a few sneak up potholes. I don't know if you've ever hit a pothole doing forty on a rigid chopper but let me tell you it definitely doesn't feel good on the ol' bum or lower back! lol

Very unique - custom!! Sweet already, after paint that will be a treat to see.
