@dung, yours looks nicer than mine. It's hard to tell from the pic but looks like you have a steel insert in yours, I'd leave it alone if that's the case.
Made more progress this weekend, but still down. I could've rushed to get it back together just to take it apart later to add the improvements I want to implement. I got the swingarm painted and bolted back up. I didn't want to do a complete new paint job on something that I'm going to beat up. I've also eaten shit a few times so the paint job had dings and scratches everywhere. The swingarm bolted up nicely and feels super secure. All the effort should pay off in the end.
I have also started adding an internal frame made out of aluminum L bracket stock to make an frame for the battery to sit on. Doing this will also create a pocket under the battery so I can cram more stuff in there. I'll likely be down another week or so, definitely in the home stretch with the rear, then will move onto making the front more secure (having starnut issues). Would really love to sell these front forks and get some new ones, but that's not an option right now, will have to see what I can do with these.
