Working on my first mazda

OK thanks for the input guys. yes i am planning on running a shock with this set up. I'm still trying to decide about where to put my bags. i might not decide that until i can mock stuff up and see how much room i'm going to have. i may not have enough room for bag on bar. thats what i want to do is bag on bar but still not 100% sure yet.

Ok so i've been doing some thinking and i think i might try to copy Mikey's rear set up. Hope he doesn't mind. Waiting on the tax return to come in for funding. also trying to sell some stuff. once i get enough saved up i'll start collecting steel and miscellaneous parts and then i can build the set up. any tips about doing the notch in the frame?

Got all of the steel i'll need. now i'm just saving up to buy my own welder so i don't have to take up room in my friends shop.
