    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Twin pipes, twin mufflers.
    Frame modification with swingarm outside supports, swingarm extended by 50mm, after the shock mount. Central backbone cut out to facilitate large direct feed airfilter.

    The swing arm support braces really do stiffen things up. I have them on my SL100/125 VMX and Flat Track bikes.
    Just the plates, the side tubes are already there.

    The 35mm AG forks work quite well too! I have those fitted on a Vinduro Bultaco.
    If I recall correctly, I replaced the top out springs with short urethane bumpers, for a bit more travel. Alum spacers to restore the preload.
    ATF works fine, just ensure the damper rod is covered at full extension.

    I like this project, Cheers!

    As it happens, so do I. I hadn't expected to do so much none engine work but to leave the rest of the AG standard would not do the engine justice I think.

    With the lengthened swingarm, having the footpeg mounts in line with the pivot can balance the handling.
    Elimination of the bolt on peg mount saves weight and gives a little more clearance.
    Using a std length shifter or a shortened one both work, with MX boots, (at least with Honda g'box).

    I like using preformed automotive exhaust section pieces to speed up pipe building.
    Tapered cuts or fill pieces on the inside of bends will produce nice looking curved cones too.

    Way cool, but what with the car battery? Just used a 2200uf cap but was pushngo on bike. Does kickstarter affect?

    So, the AG clutch push rod is 6mm, hole up the middle of the RX gearbox shaft is 5mm.
    Just got a 5mm dia plastic die ejector pin, P20 steel, nitride surface, perfect but I'll have to find a 5mm seal to replace the 6mm one.
    Its time to fire up the twin port cylinder AG, Ill have to do a short video of first fire up.

    Silver steel is my go-to for clutch pushrods. So easy to quench harden the ends.
