if anyone has a braced swinger that they want to sell id love to take it off your hands. a buddy of mine is amazing at welding/fabricating but hes busy doing the formula drift circuit right now. im looking for a fully finished vtr swinger with a 900rr brace and the brake tabs already on it. i can find the brake bracket unless youve got one which i would love to buy as well!

OR id pay someone on here to do the fabrication and everything for me as im no welder and as much as i love being hands on theres some things i just have to bow out from.

 

It's not that hard to do.

Check out the posts, all it takes is some organisation and determination.


Go on have a go, mine cost me about 450 $ Australian and a bit of time.


Bought the bits of Fleabay!

 

I have $202 USD in mine and 1/2 tank diesel start to finish..

Used VTR swing arm $30
Used 900RR swing arm $35
Used VTR brake caliper mount Free (traded some work)
Welding Free (diesel to drive to friends house)
Powder Coating $80.00
New fasteners $8.00
New CORE MOTO brake line $49.00

 

The problem is,,,, what I or someone else would need to charge to make it worth the hours of labor turns the asking price stupid expensive.

I likely have 7-9 hours in mine. Maybe more as I was not really watching the clock since this was for me and not a customer.

 

Yea i think I'm just gonna have to wait till my buddy has some free time. Ill order all the parts but it will prolly cost me a lot more if I take it to a shop to have welded up. Plus with my buddy I can be there with him and make sure everything is mounted up correctly rather than hoping a shop will do it all Exactley right. I will say that some one could make some good cash making a few and selling them on here. I love wrenching on the bike myself, but since I can't weld it's just the finished product I'm after. I didn't wanna wait for formula drift to end before I could get it started but patience is a virtue!

 

has anybody ever braced the swinger from the bottom rather than the top? i looked and i think i might have more clearence on the bottom than i do on top. im worried that my semi high mount hindles would be in the way on the top
