I have. I'm running eccentric adjusters for the rear axle and I have already made the chromoly clamps. Unless someone can convince me otherwise I'm pretty sure the entire swingarm will be tubular.

This is for the other bike, but at least its motorcycle related.

started on the new swingarm. First I had to build a jig. I went ahead and made it long enough to do frames too.

That looks terrible.

As always, really nice work man.

This ^^^ bike will be at duckstock, and a little baby 2 stroke ducati if we finish it in time. 

Can anyone find a decent wiring diagram for a ducati mountaneer 100? I think its a 64 or 65 model.

Hey what is worse than natural light? Natural light at 7 am.

I have the bevel heaven wiring diagram. I was hoping to find one that would be a little more informative.

a good thing about this jig is I can roll it around however I need to be comfortable welding.





no chainline problems







upper tube taking shape. Absolute pregnant dog to fit due to the extreme acute angles. This tube has a 3.5 degree bend.  Opposite side will be even harder since I have to match this side.

Wow! Over the past few days, I've read this thread end to end, start to finish.
What a roller-coaster of a ride.

I'll echo most of the other subscribers in that I'm extremely impressed by a ton of your work. Keep it up, this is one of the most interesting threads I've read in a long time.

Nice peek of your Ducati project in the background. This thread has run so long I can't remember what the Ducati project bike looked like. Does anybody remember what page the last good pictures are located?

Looks good.  I'm wondering why you would put the axle adjusters on the lower tubes plane, instead of horizontal.  Seems like this will change the ride height anytime you need to adjust the chain tension, wheras if it was horizontal it would minimize this.  I know it's not a performance critical thing with this bike, just curious.

I'm guessing that the lower tubes will be more flat once it's on the bike, so putting the adjustment there won't change the ride height as much as it would by putting it on the upper tubes.
