Jaydeetz, most excellent results! the swingarm is nicely proportional to your frame tubing. and the welds --- beautiful heat control. your father (i assume) heliarced the s'arm . . . good on you both for the opportunity of his skill. once you get started attaching the pretty stuff -- i am not so interested. i am the metal-below-the-pretty-gearhead type guy. but thanks for showing the bare naked lady so far. |

Jay if you and your Dad ever fancy making another one of those swingarms to sell... I'll certainly buy one from you mate! Happy new year and all that! |

Bracings all done, just minor detail work now (bobbins etc), but that can wait...we are getting close to a bike now ! Weight of the swing arm so far is just over 3kg, not too bad really and yes, its a stiff as it looks as well, proper WSB stuff here. Picking up the taper rollers from the bearing shop tomorrow then we can mount the forks in the headstock once we machine the cups for the bearings, sling some old wheels on and see what we have. The R6 in the background you see is having some headwork done, so we took the opportunity to measure it all for the peg, seat geometry, as it happens it wont be too far out from that. We also measured the rear wheel of the R6..with sprocket and disc and a 190 tyre its 14kg...which isnt actually that bad. We have 5" Marvics for the RG and they are 11kg, but without cush or a disc...I think I will use R6 wheels for my wets to keep down the costs a bit. |

That is some very nice work on the swingarm, it is really close to the original. As it stands right next to my computer! Jarno |

I take it it is for the standard Ducati SS/888/851/Monster type 3 spoke 5.5 x 17 rear wheel, with the standard 520 chain sprocket carrier and brake caliper carrier..for the width dimensions? if so gimme gimme gimme |
