DT1 flat track project

I finished the swingarm. Hopefully it'll make the bike less likely to throw me off when getting sideways.

The SC500 wheel got here. It'll get polished and new spokes, and a high shouldered rim will be laced on the front to match.

I still need to check that the wheel is centered and the sprockets line up, but it looks like all that I'll need is a couple washers to make up for the axle plates being narrower on the early swingarm. I'm still leaning toward using a stock rear fender and seat, so I borrowed the ratty seat from my DT3 to see how it looks. I'll need to find another one for this bike. It should be ready for tear down by the end of the week, and then the real work will begin.
