When I win the Lotto, you will be building the bike of my dreams. I'm going to start buying Lotto tickets............... Maybe. You are a genius, coming from someone can't nail two bits of wood together let alone weld . Can't wait to see it finished, I recon bar risers might be required if it were mine.
I saw something like that in Aberdeen today. Verrrrrry nice!Mikeyboy will be building me this when i win the lotto
well i can dream
Looking good.
Is the r/h shock mount and swinging arm/bevel box spacer all one piece?
It looks like its in 2 pieces with a little blob of weld just visible in front of the oil filler?
Hi MikeWe have modded swinging arms
Cooler than a cool thing

Hi Mike
How are you going to extend the drive shaft,I’ve extended mine by 75mm,but I’m a bit nervous of it failing.
I’ve used an unbrako 16 mm socket head bolt,using the plain shank as a 75 mm make up piece, I turned a spigot on each end then pressed it into the 2 halves, I machined a weld prep on both joins and then welded the both up.
I’m interested to see your method.
I’ll post some pics tomorrowI extended the drive dogs that the taper on the drive shaft fits in to.
Machined some 50 mm o/d 6 mm wall CDS. parted the drive dog in half and pressed them into the CDS ( Shrink interference fit) then tig welded them keeping them cool enough not to damage the heat treatment.
Mike will hopefully post some photos for you.
Not heavy duty enough thenI know it's close to the bolt hole Mike , but I would " v" the ends of that out and return the weld right round so there is no open end to start a fracture , to close for mig , but easy to do with TIG
2 ps worth ( ps spent my work life fabricating ,and also alloy boats )
Ps need to get the parrafin pony down as its running a bit rough now
