Its time to move onto a swingarm. I had originally planned to run an arm off of a FZR400. I did end up finding and getting one for a decent price. After getting it and thinking about it for a while I decided that I didn't really want to add the extra wheelbase to the bike that running this arm would do. I then picked this arm up off of ebay without knowing if it was even close to fitting. It is from a mid 90's Yamaha Seca2. Luckily it has the same piviot diameter and width as the fzr does. That means it will fit the H frame. Unfortunately it is just as long as the fzr arm is. Here is what I started with
I decided that I would be able to cut a little off of the arm to shorten it up some. Only problem was when I cut it in the saw it didn't cut as straight as I would have liked it to.
Well you know what they say, measure twice and cut once. Guess that means I have to figure something out since I can put it back in the saw, so I came up with this.
