> [@travisn](#): > > can you take the ends off to drill those holes in a lathe? the part of them that was already drilled conveniently left me a perfect centerline to run a 1/8" bit through the remainder of the slug on my drillpress, then I flipped them over and reamed them to the proper bore for running the tap the rest of the way through. only problem is I can’t find a M12x1.25 tap to borrow anywhere locally… ---

I finally got the tap I needed to make the suspension I bought work. The pic shows how its going to be done. I still have to cut the bolt that holds the clevis on and loctite it all back together. ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1103_zpsac61632c.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1103_zpsac61632c.jpg) Here is the exhaust in planning. ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1104_zps96018306.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1104_zps96018306.jpg) ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1105_zpsd6d2fbb0.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1105_zpsd6d2fbb0.jpg) above view ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1107_zpsec7f9476.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1107_zpsec7f9476.jpg) The black turn-down piece was cut from the stock headers off the ninja500r I had a few years ago. They slid right into the headers on the bike now. I left a little gap and welded them in place. I then ground off the right on the header where the clamp holding the mufflers on would rest against. ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1108_zpsf0c7de13.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1108_zpsf0c7de13.jpg) both complete ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1109_zpse76a7150.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1109_zpse76a7150.jpg) then I decided to pull the motor ![http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1111_zps67340d81.jpg](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j277/fox88nick_2006/IMAG1111_zps67340d81.jpg) then removed the swing arm and forks. this is how it sits for the day.
