But maybe you also have big plans for the powerplant? I really do not see a big risk for a squat problem with a CM450 base, I would imagine a lot of unwanted frame flex from upgraded forks, brakes, tires and new shock/rearend layout. And when all is done you need to setup the whole bike, expect to make changes to springs front and rear as well as damping front and rear. You also need to do something with the R6 shock you have, at least a new spring and preferably also modify internal setup.

Then model and work with your preferred visual design in Tony Foale's Motorcycle Setup Analysis software to evaluate performance of your choices. Jared, you are just looking at suspension, it is more like basic construction when adding swingarm and shock as I see it, so I would recommend reading and working with John Bradley's 'The racing motorcycle - a technical guide for constructors', vol. Seems to me that you all are working on the premise that both the CM450 and NT650 in their own are ideal bikes and it is necessary to maintain either original setup or implement known good upgrades - neither can be right at the same time, right? I am looking for someone with a NT650 Hawk that can measure some rear suspension distances and angles for me? I will only need a couple things and the info will be most valuable for this rebuild.

I have been reading through 'Race Tech's Motorcycle Suspension Bible' specifically chapter 5, and also this very good article. In order to place this mount in the best position on the frame, I need to know the best swing arm angle (from horizontal) to get the most optimum anti-squat angle, and thus anti-squat. Right now, I am stuck on the top mount for the rear monoshock conversion. The conversion has been interesting and challenging to say the least! I am done with welding in the larger pivot housing for the single swing arm that accommodates the 15mm pivot shaft (instead of 14mm). I am doing a cafe rebuild on a 1982 Honda CM450, but am utilizing the Hawk's single swing arm. Hello everyone! I posted this in the 'New Member' forum, but thought I could post here too.
