ok, I give. what is that?

 

[StretchASU]

One crazy ass swingarm.

 

[Jeff B]

Yea, what is it's purpose?

 

[strange1]

One crazy ass swingarm.

I thought of a single-sided swingarm when I saw the third pic; but after the fourth pic, I'm not so sure.

I'd say frame minus the swing arm. Rear clamp mount is for a nos bottle

no, it's a single sided swing arm - note the sprocket/bearing/hub assembly in the background of the 3rd picture. @Dynamite Design works for a custom shop as his day job

OK I see it now.

^note the set screw hole for the bearing cassette - pretty hot idea

Yeah, building bike stuff 20 hours a week. 20 inch extended, single sided swing arm for Hayabusa. Went to Japan.

 

[strange1]

I bet that's a heavy a** swingarm.

 

[MetalCraftSolved]

Yeah I guess. Chromoly, 1 inch was.080. And 1.5 inch was .120. When it was done, it felt like 40 lbs? They get used on show bikes. Maybe I'll remember to get some pictures of some of the magazines and posters.

The racing bikes get aluminum arms.

I want to see it jigged up to keep it square! That's a lot of weld, and potentially a lot of movement.

 

[MetalCraftSolved]

lol, I'm guessing the jig processes are 'area 51....
this might be me if i tell

I had to jump on a new welder and get in on this. Still getting it dialed in but I'm impressed so far.

This is just the first day working on getting some thing dialed in and playing with the pulse. I still have a lot of room for improvement.

NICE

Torch water cooled?

 

[CTRaceWorx]

Yes sir

 

[WARRIORWELDING]

Duel voltage input. What does the unit pull on single phase? Assuming your not runnin three phase! I've been looking at all the specs between the 200 and 280 and none of the online lit spells out what the machine draws current wise during WOT. All I can find are weld performance specs not machine appetite....... My sycrowave I want to upgrade plainly says on the back 53 amps 220 single phase. Anything on the spec plate give info???

My 200amp Thermal arc can be run on a 30A service if I'm not mistaken. I would imagine that 40A on the 280 would be ample. These new inverter machines seem to draw a lot less than the big transformers like your syncrowave.

 

[CTRaceWorx]

Practice practice practice, still working on getting this thing figured out
