    Just a Rough in so far of the new back brake lever.

    Not sure if I will polish it with orange anodized tip or gun kote it in black with an orange anodized tip.

    That's some very high quality work Dartyppyt! Your attention to detail is amazing, I don't think I'd be able to ride that bike for fear of marking the beautiful workmanship!

    It’s probably going to be polished, yellow and silver when done. That will be next winter.

    Just a sample of what my swingarm will look like when polished up.

    Beauty before age or age before beauty but there is some beauty hidden in it.

    Thanx Mista Brown!

    dartyppyt,
    Do you mind saving me the re-read of 93 wonderful pages... what is the source of that swingarm?

    Picklito,

    That swingarm was countless hours of watching ebay for something close that I could machine and change some things around, to make it fit to my Husky. It was close as far as front inner and outer front yoke measurements, length, axle width, etc......

    I cannot find a match what so ever in pics on internet. It did have the snail adjusters in rear. I’m about 90% sure that it was made for a Can Am with shorter travel shocks. The front chain slider when bottomed out on shocks, rubbed it by the pivot, from chain.

    It was very well made and the shape of the aluminum is unique and 1/4 inch thick, but hollow inside.

    I gave you a like... but I dislike that it's still a mystery arm!

    Some folks say! What you put into it, is what you get out of it!

    Here is swingarm so far! Better put your sunglasses on!

    In my case! What I’m putting into it, is what I’ll never get out of it!
