This would be a bit tough to build.... The cable part is fairly easy, it's that 'saddle' that fits around the shock mount on the FD that's the hard-to-duplicate part. The handle is for levering the swingarm up and hooking the loop on the one end. The little 'hook' that's welded the swingarm right in front of the axle is where the cable hooks, and the slot cut into the swingarm shock mount is where you insert the end of the lever to pry the arm up. Could you do this with hard bags installed? I think you could, but it won't be easy...Originally posted by Eveready1100 View PostHere's a pic.....................
