Project started October 2023,

Extending the swingarm

 
 
 
We carefully cut off the rear castings, taking care to not cut all the way through as we will re-use the bits that stick into the tubes.

 
 
 
The first casting was fairly easy to mount in the lathe to clean it up, the other one required some improvising haha. We made some slugs with a male and female side, so the slugs slid into the tubes and the castings slid into the slugs. We deliberately machined them so we would have a nice big gap to get good welding penetration.

 
 
 
 

Next week we weld the swingarm and we start with rear axle, hub, brake etcetera
