rough frame design

very nice, but why don't you go ahead and work on the swingarm with the same billet pieces.

[truckinduc]

this is full compression. I just have enough room to move the engine forward the 1" I want. that will give me a 20" swingarm and 54" wheelbase.

Keep in mind the tire grows in the center at speed, might want to give yourself a little leeway.

It grows and forks will flex just a bit, some as much as .25-.3 inches. 

The forks on my Alazzurra flex about an inch at speed, but those are 35mm conventional forks...

Wow, subscribed.

Welcome back.  Nice kickstand.

+1.  Would love to see something like that readily available for Monsters.

Yes you guys are exactly right. I also will allow for taller profile tires.

Ill be making another valve cover for the front exhaust. Much like I did for the rear. This valve cover will be a high clearance item to give a little extra room.

dude, someday (next summer?) i'd like to get ahold of you to commission an exhaust for a 76 (ish) cb550 cafe project, if you arent too busy

amazing work, super creative. You should consider doing industrial design work on the side

Cool looking build. Post some more info on it when you get a chance would love to know more about it.
Thanks!

Honestly I cannot see any advantage of running a hybrid swingarm.  Yes It may look cool but it will be heavier and have more potential for flex.  The reason Im doing a hybrid frame is so I can (hopefully) tune the ridgidity sp? of the front end. 1.5" .049 wall 4043 is some stiff stuff.
