Looks fine to me, put some duct tape on it and you'll be good to go.

 

Finally found time to work on the bike again.

Made a gusset for the subframe and started bracing the swinger.

 

clutch plates sent to replace those "pieces" get this badboy going!!!!!
Chris.

 

Nice, but we gotta get you a better camera or get you off the Monster drinks

 

what's wall thickness on that lawn furniture? (lol) Just kidding; but wouldn't getting a little bit beefier be worth it a little more? Ya' know, the difference between an 'ooh' and an "aaahhhhh"!

 

What's the clearance between the tire and the brace?

 

Greg, I've got a 900rr braced SA and it has 2.5 cm sidewall clearance and 1.5 cm top/center of tire clearance...Hope this helps Truck cuz I wanna see this baby running

 

Ha. This tubing is ALOT meaner than my subframe stuff. Its 1" od 1/8" wall.

Lets just say it took a torch and annealing plus a big cheater bar and my body weight to get it to want to start bending.

Thats opposed to the subframe stuff where I can hold it out in front of me and bend it with my bare hands like in the cartoons.

 

1/8" = niiiiicccce! I knew ya' were good..., now she knows, lol!

 

Yeah, I just wanted to make that you take tire expansion at speed into account. They can stretch up to 2cm...from personal experience on my 1000RR after I burned a hole through my stock hugger.

 

just taking a second to say that jonsey Is THE MAN.

He stepped up and sent me a double banjo bolt and some clutch plates all the way from the UK to help mu build.

Also have to thank FLO2SupaHawk996 again for the Master Cylinder.

NOW IVE GOT FRONT BRAKES!!!!!

The hospitality of said members, and some others, is what makes this forum great.

Really appreciate it guys, Thanks again.

 

Ha, ya. The subframe is the lawn chair stuff.

Thanks again for the ride.

Looks like we got more rain again today, Damn.

 

Oh yes I have. The tire is adjusted all the way forward and I can easily fit a finger all the way around it.

Id rather build it having a new tire on the rim, but Im allowing for different tire profiles also.

Should also fit a 190 if I choose to put one on there, aka I can get one cheap.

 

just don't tell anyone 'bout my fly *** trailer, lol!


starter is on; now i can turn the damn thing off,

 

NICE

 

this thread is awesome.

 

swingarm brace tubing vs subframe tubing



and tire clearance

 

 

I kept contaminating my welds so I stopped before I got too frustrated. Its gonna look really good though.

Getting some sheetmetal work too.
