six inch swinger
the lenght of the swinger with hopefully the hp i will get from the engine will be much needed, as this is my second 1100e build, the first one was six over as well and really didnt have many handling issues at all, Im really not trying to curve with the bike anyway, as far as straight line use only, I doubt it will ever see the track, maybe a few stop lights between them, or some interstate action, ALSO I beleive in order to do a six inch wide rear wheel you must have a longer swing arm?? stock length will only afford you to have a 5.5 wide wheel, is correct to my knollage. thank you for the nice comment on my machine.Originally posted by steve murdoch View PostSky, looks like a great start to a FAST bike.
I will certainly be following your build.
Curious as the why so long [6"] on the swinger. Strictly straight line use?

Can't say on the Dakota... How about an Acewell? Memebers on another custom forum I belong to love them.
If you host you pics on Photobucket, ficker, or I use Webshots. You can load several of them on a post here. And at a decent size, instead of the thumbnails...
Just trying to help you out. And let you know I am watchin
Awesome progress. Keep them coming!
