Here it is. I get so many requests for pictures I'm gonna load this up to keep all your pic' guys happy This is just random work stuff, no photoshop,lots of cell phone pictures, as unprofessional as it gets! If I act all snooty and hire a photographer I'm gonna have to make you guys pay more money and nobody wants that. LOL!
Ok this is my 280 arm I've been bragging about. The right side looks stock but look again, it's actually been perfectly blended in to appear stock but is solid 6061 aluminum coming in at close to a 1/2 solid where the cut out is....yes it built like overkill and then some! This arm clears a 280 tire like it's a joke, there is room to spare to say the least.




frame rake

stock tire, 250 tire, 280 tire

brake brackets in all types of finish

in process arm, showing some welds

some more random, some of my old Warrior with a 250 kit, some of my garage and a couple builds going on.


hidden caliper looking better then the factory finish

nice thread kyle!
Love your work brother....tell us about that frame neck work? whats your end goal in terms of rake degrees...are you into the frame work....or is this your personal bike work.

[kylenv]

Thanks Man! nope this is my bike. I built a frame Jig just for this project. I was shooting for 10-12 degrees and in the end got exactly that. I'm still posting so hang on, you guys are going to get it! haha

[kylenv]

having some photo problems. I will be back on later and try to post up some more

[kylenv]

ok now I am really digging for interesting photos...LOL




And let me say this, I thought women liked motorcycles and big muscles and all that stuff...Nope! they like Chihuahua's. Couldn't be happier that my Ex left and abandoned this little sweetheart with me.

You are killing me Kyle...I am two months from refinancing the house, i just want to buy everything i need right now. Ugghhh..cute dog..

Your 280 swingarm looks pretty heavy duty Kyle.Are you going to run a 280 on that raked out frame?I just bought me a big azz welder,and with a good bit of practice,I will try the neck rake also.You have done a great job on all of your stuff,and made it affordable for the forum members.Kudo's to you.

[kylenv]

Parkinglot- We have waited this long, what's two more months...haha!

Gilly- Yeah the 280 arm is pretty beefy, I built a more traditional arm and decided to go with this one. People I asked said no hump was wanted but they still wanted more so I thought for a while and decided this was the best way even though it is very time consuming.
Not sure what I'm doing with my bike. I built a right side drive arm for the big conversion but after seeing how the chain will sit I am really not happy with the looks at all. I am still spending a good hour a night just staring at my bike to see what is best but at this point I may end up running a normal belt set up due to the looks being so much cleaner. The frame rake turned out great but man it was a lot of hand sanding to get my gussets back to stock looking while still keeping tons of strength. If I were to do it again I would leave the welds as it looked cool and would not give my hands blisters
