Now that is pretty sweet, I've always loved timber frames even attempted to build a little shop using timber joinery (another unfinished project of mine). I got a broad axe, chisels, mortising bits and such, Didn't take long to realize that the guys who lived back in that era were bad asses and much tougher than thought I was. Hewing timbers from logs is back breaking work, you ever try it?
Well, yes, they were tough; they did not have a portable bandsaw mill, as I did when I built my house. No Canadian Tire down the road, back then, or power tools. The chiselling is easy, as long as the tool is sharp, but a broad axe was not in my arsenal, though. But yes, timber framing your own house is as good as it gets. Here is another earlier iteration; it has grown a bit by now with attached porches, etc. Important to leave the giant trees for shade.
It just so happens I recently purchased somebody else's chopper project. An 81 Heritage Special (in kit form) and a hardtail frame. I have removed the motor and a few other parts, but the Swingarm is here at a very reasonable price plus shipping. If you are interested, let me know.
Hi Stealthcan, yes, that swingarm may well be a good idea. You can private message me at jurgen@mobilemacman.ca and let me know what the cost is for the arm and shipping to Canada V8A-0E6It just so happens I recently purchased somebody else's chopper project.

Edit: I also have the tension bar and the bolt that attaches the arm to the hub. Might have the nut still, but it is just an 8mm x1.25 nut I believe. I am sure I can find one and a small cotter pin.
If you are not sure you want it but may change your mind. Tell me. I have a bunch of stuff I will houl off soon, the frame being one of the. I will pull the swingarm and sit on it if it may be a thing you want.
