What are the hubs off of?  I've seen some done with Honda 250 and 400 stuff.

Looks like a fun project good luck and keep the pics coming!

What is supporting the inside rear of the lower A arm?  Can't tell from the pic, but I see a verticle piece of flat steel anything behind it?

What about bumpstop?

What do you think the ride height will be?
