Title: Facing the cases - SSSA debacle inside...
Post by: TAftonomos on March 12, 2010, 04:43:47 AM
For my next trick/project, I'll be using a 1000ds motor.

I'd like to use a particular swinger off a SBK, to keep the geometry intact of the already excellent chassis.  Therefore, I've got to narrow the cases on the motor.

MUST I do this by splitting them, and getting a mill ?  I've had a thought about removing material with a cutoff wheel, and then using a lower bracket facing tool for a bicycle to square up the face.  I KNOW there are others on here that have done it, but I can't seem to find where.

Wait, you have a perfectly good excuse to buy a mill and you are looking for other options??????

would different SSS's bolt directly up or do you have your heart set on a SBK SSS?

for geometry purposes, he was looking for a sbk swingarm.
