But, the axle blocks/adjusters look cool, with triangle cutouts like the RZV frame. :smt023
Posted this in April of 2018. Never thought it would take a year, or more, to get the swingarm fabricated.

I think most of the drawings/CAD work is done.

Trying to get the axle blocks machined. Not one piece of tubing has been bent.

Will definitely be unique, if it's ever finished. :smt023

Great things rarely ever come quick and easy! Looking forward to the day it is revealed to us.

I was asked not to post about the custom swingarm until it's done.

I did find some swingarm design pics on Sebspeed's Facebook page.

Not saying these drawings are for my swingarm. Just saying, this is the guy working on my arm.

On my swingarm, I designed the rear axle blocks to have similar (shaped) cutouts like the RZV frame.

Axle block machining is almost done. Just a few more tweeks.

Not bad for the middle of the night.

Found enough scrap parts to mockup the risers and bars.

Will help me figure the shape and height of the hero risers.

Those axle blocks are looking great. I mean, who doesn't love a nice machined block of aluminum!

Could've had Mike send the axle blocks directly to Sebspeed, but I wanted to see them in person, first. Glad I did. Gave me a good dose of motivation. Damn nice parts.

Was hoping to ship these to Sebspeed, yesterday.

Took me all day to clean off the polishing compound.

Will ship Monday.
