Re: Swingarm brace / bracing design thoughts & theory - your experience/ opinion plea how about a single sided swingarm with bracing done? lol :punk:

I agree.. which is why its a bummer when i found the weight to get this heavy as i progressed....maybe its the constant nagging feeling of "failure prevention" thats why i might have chose to err on the heavier side.. lol.. i;m trying to salvage and shave off watever weight i can for this...

so sorry about the lack of updates... but this is what i have in the pics ... going to add a brace to the swingarm... and its already so fuckin heavy!!! :( with the axles in... the last time i weighed in.. it was a frickin 30 kg!!!... shiat... but.. at least.. this thing seems like it could...

i believe its some high strength carbon steel which i sent for hardening when it was completed.. i dont remember the exact specification of the steel though as i only told my machinist whats the purpose of the adapter for and he sourced for a suitable material for me. sorry.

i have decided to convert the bike into a chain drive in view of the cost and effort needed to build a new shaft drive housing. I figured the housing to be machined is gonna cost me alot and finding suitable pinion / ring gears (gearing ratio) is gonna be alot of hassle.. the weight is also...

ok welded up the hub and the centre gusset ... shes ready for a mock up soon as i mentioned, here is a small update with pics on my current swingarm design... will show u guys the chain adapter as well. heres a shot of my shock mount TA DA! will be adding another bar here to further...
