When you cut the swing arm .is it still the same length otherwise the drive shft would need lengthening. It looks like you cut out more after the original cut to make the joint fit better is that right .you kept the hinge point and wheel centre with the jig in the original position is that right. By the way I'm a steel fabricator and this bike is a masterpiece you should be proud
Hello, thanks... Target is: - tire on the middle - as far as possible My transmission ( cardan ) is stayed original, but moved on the left as far as possible. New tire is cca. 7 cm wider as original tire. That means 3,5 cm more on each side according to the original tire. I moved the transmission ( cardan ) and tire cca. 1,5 or 2 cm to the left ( as far as possible ), so tire isn't on the middle, but moved cca. 2 cm to the right according to the center. On the left side in original condition is between transmission ( cardan ) and tire cca. 1,5 cm space. Now I have between cardan and tire only 2-3 mm space. I wanted tire as much as possible in the middle of bike.

e poštovanje, ljep pozdrav iz hrvatske, pratio sam več ovaj projekat na tvojem web-site-u i što da kažem do jaja svaka čast, dal je bilo puno posla kod proširenja zadnje vilice?? ja isto imam neke ideje isto ču da idem u projekt, radit ču kao neki old-school bobber s ape volanom i springer vilicama, ali iza bi isto proširio gumu to jest nebi ni toliko širio koliko bi rađe da je felga veča da ima što manje gume, pa sad dali imaš neki nacrt po kojem si radio vilicu? ako se možemo dogovoriti?
Hello, congratulations on such an excellent job and good taste. It is a really well accomplished bike. I read that your rear wheel is 18 x 8" and the question is ¿Is that wheel width enough for the tire to expand correctly and not deform and cause the motorcycle to be heavy or uncomfortable or that you have to make more effort to curve? Thank you very much for your attention and I will appreciate your answer. Regards 🤝
@@mitfifThank you very much for your answer. And, if you don't mind, could you please tell me, what (%) of uncomfortable does the bike feel with the change of the rear tire? The opinion and experience of those who have already made that change on their motorcycle is very important and valuable, and thus know and prepare for the changes that will occur in handling. Thanks again for your attention.
Target is: tire on the middle - as far as possible. New tire is ca. 7 cm wider as original tire. That means cca. 3,5 cm more on each side according to the original tire. I moved the transmission ( shaft ) and tire ca. 1,5 or 2 cm to the left ( as far as possible ), so tire isn't on the middle, but moved cca. 2 cm to the right according to the center. On the left side in original condition is between transmission ( shaft ) and tire cca. 1,5 cm space. Now I have between shaft and tire only 2-3 mm space.
V yeah only the frame front end front wheel tire, gas tank. He changed the rear wheel and tire and fender. The rear swaying arm was widened. It’s a nice job but you see one of this model bobbed you’ve seen them all!
