Truckers Monster Rebuild

Another idea for a linkage like that is on the Britten bike...

But I guess our horizontal cylinder would get in the way of that anyway, which would shift it down just like in your drawing...

I'm excited to see how this goes! Do you model stuff in CAD at all, or just go by your drawings?

I think it's from a newer style Supersport.

Nope. It's from an ST.

But my untrained eye can't tell if it's from a new or old style ST.

yeah, it is from an ST. but i cheated, i saw your post about it in another thread

ya i think i have everything made about the Britten, books, movies, the scale model he made to make money, even a pic of me sitting on the cr&s one as a baby.

Tank is off a late model st3.

Just got my 999 swinger, now its time to cut up my case.

so the braced DSS swinger is out? will this one be easier for the underside shock?

What happened to the rear SBK axle adjusters?

Why are you using the monster adjuster plate?

Why not just the the 999 stuff?

What's the blue stuff?

Sorry for all the question, just trying to make sense of it all.

the 999 axle is 22mm or something, mine is 17mm, so i have to make my own adjusters. The monster adjusters is there for no reason. Plus the adjusters cost about as much as the swinger itself so it would be a waste, unless i could find some cheap and weld in a spacer sleeve.

I dont know what blue stuff you speak of.

DucatiBastard, both swingers would have been fine to do the underside shock with, but i decided that i just couldnt make the old box swingarm look good, so it is a pure aesthetics move.

This whole project really shows your makeing the best out of a crash

its pretty amazing to see the progress and know that your doing it all yourself. What kind of exhaust set up do you have planned? If the shock is under you must have some other route for it?

Ya i figured if i cant ride i ought to be working on the bike. The front primary tube will be routed the same way or similar to how it was before, on the right side of the bike. The shock is going to be on the left side of the bike.
