Uncrated my suitcase and I am pretty happy with the frame. The rear section has been modified, but I knew that from before purchase photos.
To get get under the max size for "luggage" Kyle cut off the sub frame and tucked it inside.
Sitting back in proper location the package looks like this. You can see the square tubing added in place of the original bracing from the seat rail to the back of the SA pivot casting.
From the top you can see additional brackets that will need to be removed, but I think all the originals still exist.
I need to dig out all my parts and start a project thread once I get going. I want to investigate the R6 swing arm pivot area to decide what pivot bolt to use. Because I need some welding already I am considering modifying the pivot castings (on the frame) to use the R6 axle. I haven't even looked inside the R6 arm yet, so that may be just crazy talk.
