here is the idea for the linkage. The purple is an aluminum plate thats bolted to each side of the engine. Im still working on all the lengths to figure out the ratios. It would be alot easier if I had modeling software.  |

Looks awesome so far, I love the trellis style swingarm. As you build, think about the possibility of replicating your work. People will pay for a trellis style swingarm upgrade.

That is a good suggestion. But unfortunately Ive already changed so much with the cases it would never work on a stock monster. I could however start over with another bike and design and build one. Someone would just have to let me borrow their bike for about a week. |

The clearance between the final vertical swingarm/shock mount tube and the motor mount must be quite small when you're into compression? I'm guessing that's something the modeling software will help space correctly.

Yep. there will be alot of close tolerances. For example the shock to tire under compression and the obvious situation you pointed out.
Im shooting for 5" travel midway through the bumpstop.

side view, finalizing the design this reminds me of the frameless ducati roadbike. very very neat stuff.  |

Check out my oil filter forensics thread! Offended? Click here"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.

The tube will interfere with removing the side cover.   I guess thats why the superbikes frames are like this. I dont like it though cause this is the furthest back my frame is, no shock mount behind that motor mount. Pantah frame had a similar interference problem with the vertical belt cover. Ducati decided to flatten the tube at that point on the inside so there was room. I can try to take pics, I have a spare frame sitting in the garage. |
