Converted using all Honda bits, I reckon. Swingarm is more Honda than Yamaha, once you look beyond the obvious.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Nice conversion, interesting 8). Where did you pick up the pixie Marc. It a backyard or shop conversion isn't it?

looks kind of like the Kramer monoshock setup from way back when. Have seen the setup on Maico's and also most famously on the Marty Moates XL350 based KS1 Powrell 450 racer. ???

The Dual shock is remeniscent of the Kramer Maicos. Swingarm does look a bit home made but not a bad job at all. probably works well.

Its all Honda except for the swingarm. Maybe a clever back yard job. Looks quite good.

Hmmm. I think you need to put them glasses on mate. Its basically a cr with a back end mod. :)

It seems all Honda like Nathan said and appears to be a pretty good backyard conversion. I doubt it'd be much of an improvement over the original as the front end seems to be untouched. It's a cool unit though

I think that sounds close, it is definitely not backyard job. I would like it.

If it was a Franks honda or similar wouldn't you think they'd make a whole new frame? That appears to be the original honda frame.
