- - - instead of stretching the swingarm im thinking that I'll cut the entire swingarm mounting gusset off and remount the swingarm pivot further back behind diagonal rear upright instead of in front of it. I think that will clean up the frame a lot, and be a bit different from what I've seen others do. - - -
Any thoughts (that aren't "Put it back to stock")?
Good point,
I betterbuild a model of it in CAD and see if I can make it work while maintaining chain tension..
Maybe just need to add a chain tensioner, which I should probably do regardless...
Well, if you meant to do that, fine. But keep the filler welds away from the head race pockets. A weld-warped bearing pocket will spoil your whole day.View attachment 91251
Oh dear...
I could do a quick write up on mag particle and liquid penetrant testing in a separate thread if there's interest. Those only require strong magnets and/or spray can chemicals you can get from any industrial supply store.
I'm going to do some MPI on my neck welds anyway, and I could LPI the repairs I just had done to an aluminum engine cover.
