Yeah I suck at badweb's search engine... but who doesnt... So is there a detailed tutorial somewhere about doing this mod?    I am looking for exact dimensions/tips/risks etc... | ||
| Mikef5000 |
Whoa. Never seen that one before. | ||
| Nillaice |
buy a spare, and follow the picture story. or you could find that guy (on another board, obviously, you found the thread) and ask him. i think that'd be your best bet | ||
| Nillaice |
is it wrong to post a thread from another board if they are not a sponsor of this board? http://www.buellxb.com/Buell-XB-Forum/Buell-Lightn ing-XB12S-XB12Ss-CityX-XB12Scg/sneek-preview- ask keppi | ||

Actually Keppi has posted here a bunch as well: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/327 77/493749.html?1252206520 http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/327 77/481908.html?1248926297 Basically has the same "picture story". | ||

for dimensions, take a look inside of a pre 06 swingarm, the mod is almost given by Erik B.  mod done first by lemmy Buell Forum France http://buell.actifforum.com/buell-personnalisee-f5/lemmy-s-buell-project-t1671.htm (Message edited by keppi on November 17, 2009) (Message edited by keppi on November 17, 2009) | ||

Keppi - I love that Mod and plan on doing it as soon as I can pick up a cheep used swingarm | ||
| Bromanowski |
This has me thinking now, I have an extra swing are sitting around... | ||
| Greg_e |
I have to question how much strength and rigidity you would be losing. | ||
| Andymnelson |
Keppi- Thanks for that link. I just spent the last hour looking through the 50+ pages of Lemmy's build. What an artist! Wow. | ||
| Andymnelson |
"I have to question how much strength and rigidity you would be losing." None...probably gaining some. The area that is opened up is hollow from the factory, and it is beefed up with the pieces welded in around the perimeter. | ||
| Wavex |
Awesome, thanks guys/keppi... need a spare swingarm... | ||
| Bikertrash05 |
Wow, lemmy's bike that keppi posted is SWEET! (I would have kept it all black and chrome, but that's me) | ||
| Delta_one |
Keppi did you wire mig that? | ||
| Joesbuell |
It's a mig weld... | ||
| Keppi |
Yes, joesbuell is right mine is MIG ALU weld... no Probs now...second season in use. | ||
| Desmo900 |
Dont you have to heat treat aluminum after you weld it? | ||
| Keppi |
U have to do before welding | ||
| Badrap |
Does'nt it affect oil volume? | ||
| Joesbuell |
Oil is in the front section of the swingarm! | ||
| Ourdee |
What is the before and after weights? | ||
| Tq_freak |
It most likely weights MORE after the mod because the inside is boxed in. |
