    Zee Germans...

    Sorry, didn't know what else to call the thread.

    I found this site just recently. I was directed to it by the guy I have just bought a Bandit swinger off for my GS1000.

    This is the site:



    And this is a taste of what they do... (it is the swingarms you are looking at...)



    More pics of this one here: http://www.custom-wolf.de/index.php?CONTENT=1,1




    And a bit more classic...




    I have had a bit of a look through the Custom Wolf page, aside from the amazing work that they do I can't imagine the bill once they are finished...

    Interesting mix of parts on the Kat; cant say it really grab me though. Someone needs to save the exhaust valves on that Kawi by doing some jetting

    Edit : I looked quite a selection of swingarms

      The front rotor on the Kat is weird.

            Shame about that Katana. Too much azz in the air.

                    Very cool site, thanks for showing us, that tail design is their customizing style. I agree, not my taste but they probably say the same thing about our stretched bikes. The engineering is what stands out and always does in their customs. Absolutely stunning, a tremendous amount of work and custom fab. Here is a pic of the custom arm I made out of chromoly for my 82 Kat resto-mod project.

                      the swingarm on that kat is most likely one of the older spondon or martek swingers.

                          Kinda hard to imagine the hours of work that went into filleting (I assume that is how you did that?) those welds .

                          Exceptional work ; OK now I will go and hide my Por-15 and HF spray gun

                          I think this is one of the times that "attention to detail" applies unequivocally!

                            Thanks Colin...LOL Pos! Thank you, you are correct as always... yes about one month's work in the fabrication of this arm. Here are the pic's before and after. Sorry, I didn't mean to take away from the thread.

                              Hi Hitman, that is not a swingarm! That is pure ART! Thanks for the pics and I love the lines and design of that arm, just magic!!! Cheers.
