How does the ratio and chain path look?

Chain path is cock on straight with good clearance on a 525 chain - ratio's will need adjusting depending on final swing arm pivot position and angle - I didn't worry too much about it other than building in plenty of adjustment.

I'd have built it with minimum, it can only increase.

I built it with maximum to clear the top swing arm adjustment position as it can lower then go lower in 3 different positions - but was unsure where it would all end up anyway to a degree 👀 (hence the adjustability)
Standard sprockets are 15/41 (Ratio 2.73)
This is 17/44 (Raitio 2.59) +5.6% only on top end.
 
I like the premium paddock stand brackets on the swing arm.

I also like the bottle jack under the swing arm supporting the bike.

On my Ducati trackbikes, I look for around 2.5

Does the swing arm have much arc movement, when the spring is removed from shock, to check the swing?

Depends where the pivot is positioned - I aimed for 2 adjustments either side of my standard guestimate. The shock spring is another issue - I need to see if I can get one weak enough, and the travel might be a bit too small being off a ZX10R (well, it's actually got a bit of wood in there at the moment). It currently has zero static sag and not really any more when you sit on it :ROFLMAO:. It will be going to Gareth's at Reactive Suspension to try and get it somewhere half decent - but it doesn't need to win any races :unsure:

Boring questions I do not know the answers to
1. How will you get it registered without a frame number or are you using /cloning one from an existing bike?
2. Who will insure it and how valid will the cerificate be (on impact) when the state of modifications is listed/found out from the original registration?
Sorry

I will be insuring it on a Classic Insurance policy with all the modifications - it is registered already and it has it's original frame and engine number - the Headstock and cradle are standard :whistle:
 
Some progress over in that there Hull 👀 :oops:🥳

So whilst your best welding dude is doing this for the bike, what else are you doing to it in preparation for when it comes back?
