this is an idea ive had for awhile and due to my current living situation (no garage)
equals no cool tools such as die grinders mig welders etc. so im going to share this info and try to improve on the idea as much as possible and take any input from you guys as well. but the idea would include a custom fabricated swingarm that would also encompass a horizontal suspension system. this would look cool you would have the rigid look with the ride of a softtail depending on how it is done. but here is the first rough concept just done up in paint. but a better hopefully 3-d model to come. the challenges i see ahead is fabrication itself i know theres some good fabricators out there. might require a frame stretch. the angle of the swing arm. and the shock stifness wether it would be capable of handleing the weight of the bike and rider when it encounters a bump. but et me know what you guys think of it so far.
