How does your swinger bolt to your frame? I thought those type of framse took a different swinger, more like an ATV swinger. You got to post some pictures of it mounted to the frame.

 

[ugottalovewagner]

yeah It is more like a atv swingarm. The challenge is that the lower motor mount hooks to the swingarm pivot bolt so you have to stay wider than that motor mount. Basically the frame is wide so the heim joints mount just on the inside of the frame and then the motor mount fits between them. I also have my chain tensioner setup to mount off the swingarm pivot bolt, so there is several things that mount off it. IT all fits up really nicely, just a pain to get everything lined up to get the bolt through.

Since you go a lot going on near the pivot bolt, you might run into issues with the chain slider. I've never seen a ATV swinger tapered like yours, but you might get some ideas if do a Google search on ATV chain sliders.

I'm not using a slider, I'm using 2 rollers on on top, one on bottom, I already have it installed and it seems to be tracking nicely on the bench.

here are a few more pictures of what I am working on. First is the chain rollers that I setup in order to keep the chain off the swing arm. The second pictures shows my subframe that I finally have how I want it, Now I just have to find someone who can weld aluminum to put it together for me. After that all I have left is to mount the gas tank and I will be ready to take it for a ride.

If your looking for ideas for a chain tensioner I did a little adjustable height roller right before the rear sprocket so even when the chain has some droop in it, it's still pretty tight around the sprocket ??

just curious, what is the wheelbase on that bike? myn seems a bit longer than it needs to be.

 

[think369]

Nice, I was curious what your swinger looked like. It looks kinda of like the R55 swinger, but instead of disc brakes your using the stock drum brake. Who made your triple trees for you?

BTW im the guy who made the triples. =)

 

[ugottalovewagner]

yeah Think, You made a hell of a set of triples, they really are sweet. I was going to ask you about possibly making me a new axle, how much would it cost? Or I could just send you back that second axle you made me and you could turn it down and re-thread it. Since I switched to the higher end forks they have the smaller hole on one side, The First axle that you sent me fits right but it doesnt have the other end threaded so I am assuming it will slide around once I ride it. Does that make sense? The wheelbase is 43 inches axle to axle

Sketch me up a detailed drawing and I'll make one for you. Or like u said I can just turn down the one u have. What ever u want to do. If I make another I may have to buy some material so just cover that cost and shipping and I can whip one up for you

 

[ugottalovewagner]

If you give me your address ill just send this one back to you, that way you wont have to buy any extra material. I will measure it when I get home today, I just need it turned down from 15mm to 12mm and rethreaded. I will get an exact length and measurements to you. Thanks so much

Did u get my pm with the address

I cannot find anybody who will weld my sub frame up for me. How is it so hard to find a guy who can weld aluminum?

it's not really that hard find ppl to do it. Go to welding schools or really good fab shops like prerunner shops and ect. I know about 3 ppl here in phoniex that I've meant at school or on here.

 

[ugottalovewagner]

Yeah, Lincoln Nebraska is a little bit behind the times. I will check to see if there is a welding program at the local community college, that might be a good option.

I'm digging your progress on this build. I'm about to start building one from this hacked up Cobra. I have an old 3 wheeler with a bad frame I'll be using as a doner

 

[Domangue418]

I want your 70 BAAAAAADDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ugottalovewagner]

it now sits in my living room, waiting for me to find a welder for the subframe

 

[ugottalovewagner]

Finally found a guy to weld the bike up for me. Dropped it off today, should have it back tomorrow, I might actually get to ride this by the weekend.

Nice work. I love the looks of it.
