vmax in a sportbike chassis

[satariel666]

After seeing this picture, I want to go out and by a Venture! Just look at this base frame.... you could easily make a chopper, a bobber, a streetfighter... almost anything from this! Shit... my wheels are turning!unk:

Pretty similar to v-max huh

Yes, simple sheet metal must be welded into frame and thats all.
When You come by to PL hook with me and that swingarm is Yours for free.
Alxe/pivot and drive shaft(longer) included.

The biggest problem I saw, the main reason I throw that idea was serious gas tank modification.
Funny, I will be doing more crazy project this winter LOL

that's one way, probalbly easier, but i try to look on mods from repetition pov. meaning a bolt-on mod can be repeated easily and hopefully sold to an end user, as opposed to a one-off modification with strings attached (frame welding etc). going further, using genuine items as opposed to custom, is easier, cheaper, very available and a great relief if anything goes wrong
obiously it all starts with a one-off

Im finding myself that stand alone fabrication is far away more efficient then sculpture the stocker goodies so, I cant agree

But my theory could fail with a fat wallet bikers, as its supoused to be a fun this way.
Im not seeing it my friend.

But hey, evryone has his own.

Here are a few pictures of my spare swing arm.

Could someone measure a stock VMax swing arm and see what the distance is from side to side where wide part of tire would be?

The brackets on the bottom of the arm are for the shock linkage.

I put a series of pictures in an album of the rebuild of my Venture.

You can get a better idea of what a gutted Venture looks like.
