Swingarm mod complete was created by harm
Well i finally got some work done on my swingarm. I took a break from the bike to get the "honey do list" cut down to size.
This swing arm is for my 1980 kz550A1. For those who don't remember i am converting my bike from a dual shock rear end to a mono shock. I bought a swingarm, linkage and shock off Ebay. The swingarm is off a Ninja 250. I am using the stock rear wheel which is a little bigger diameter than what the ninja used so i needed to extend the swingarm a little. I machined up some new parts to extend the slot for the axle. Tig welded it together, painted/clear coat. Ready to mount.
Here's some pics

Excelent workmanship. Some of the best I've seen. You definitely have a talent for this.
