I would be worried less about the aluminum piece itself and more about the cylinder head.

That's just me, tho.

Is your plan to use the Monster frame shown on the first page of this thread with this SS swingarm & shock setup?

it looks awesome but very delicate

It's actually pretty stout. I measured 11.25 mm thick below the shock mount bolt.

So DL, your solution is an SS type chassis. Will it be "Monsterized" or are you going for cafe racer type look? Either way you don't have to worry about those damn Monster frame struts anymore.

That is a trick looking chunk of alloy.

I actually don't know what direction to classify it. Monster with Al ss swingarm, 2-1 exhaust, and very light and fast. Maybe Sport Monster?

On phase 2 I'd like chop the whole backend off and build an aluminum subframe with a shortened seat.

actually, now that you mention it, yeah.  it's attached to the head via the cover bolts.  not much meat there.

I'd love that .  If you cut the frame, you can weld in some eyes to bolt the subframe on. 

once you've got the frame open like that, maybe run the wiring inside the tube.  i always wanted to do that.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Thats why kaemna says helicoil or time- sert has to be done. I'm choosing time-sert sine my work has all the equipment. I just have to made a guide plate for drilling and installing them.

Probably 6061. Not 100%

Yep. Love the ss suspension and love the monster frame. I'm going to lose about 15-18lbs going from the 888 style rear suspension to the ss setup.

I vote sportster.    i know a company who makes a product branded this way - you could probably buy some premade decals and whatnots.

But then people would expect it to be slow, not handle well, and be dripping with chrome.

Whoof! Since the wife went out tonight, i had some extra time to burn. I installed my 4 time-serts to reinforce the valve cover holes. I can't remember the last nerve racking equivalent thing I had to do. I was constant thinking, don't fudge this up.

It's either a slight casting or milling flaw, but it's just a small nick filed off. The thickness around the bolt holes are 4.5mm and have 17.5mm of thread with the time serts.

I haven't figured out what's going to have the highest tensile strength. 6al-4v titanium or 316 stainless steel.

gray memory on that but i believe stainless is less favorable than nonstainless steel.

stainless has better shear vs ti-al but ti-al has better stretch resistance.  the latter is more brittle.
