You're exactly right, Bruce; I should have made similar comments.

I used a Gio as a donor, due to the excellent front forks and the CG223. I also used the swingarm and shock from a Roketa, since it is in good shape, and I won't be needing it. The Roketa shock link is quite sturdy, although the bolt holes are sloppy. I intend to bush the holes, as I did with another project some years ago. The point to all of this for me is a higher seat and improved ground clearance, along with a disc brake upgrade.

The Fat Cat motor you mentioned in another thread would be the icing on the cake!
