where I'm @ with this / custom rear chain adjuster plate for mounting spools

 

done nothing left to only polish them up a bit

 

'bout time!


... so what did you need to cut the L groove into? i thought it had to do with this, or is there something not visible from this angle?

 

Looks nice, but I wouldn't trust holding up the back end of the bike with the chain adjuster bolt.

 

It should be strong enough, the load is distributed by the shoulder of the block
inserted into the end of the swing-arm. So it is all sheer. The adjuster bolt
just ensures it stays in place so the shoulder can do it's job.

Nicely done, big guy!

By the way, Now that I've seen the design, yes you could have cut the shoulder with
a table-saw and made it a one-piece design. You just lower the blade down to the
height of the shoulder and move the fence in to cut the cheek of it. The fence rides
against the outside face of the block. So if the block is sized to final dimension first,
just turn it 180 to cut the two parallel shoulders, re-adjust the fence for the ends and
re-run. That will mill a rabbit around all four edges.

Well Malbo - as Ern knows two - there's a block of alum inside the swingarm to take all the weight and it's doweled into the rear outer block - the adjuster bolt does nothing only tension the adjuster as it's supposed to........... it'll never move or break

And indeed Ern , mark 2 version - I will use a table saw with carbide tipped blade to cut an L ! - hopefully I keep all fingers

Regen' - what you doing in the 1000F section - bored or something ?

 

My question is WHY. You can't do chain work or remove the rear wheel w/o removing the adjusters.

You have the lift where you can strap the bike down. In the shops the guys strap the bikes down. You can turn the lift upside down and the bike doesn't move.

It sounds like a classic case of cabin fever.

 

really lol - well the PitBill stand I have for the rear is this one so you could say
taking the rear wheel off is no problem flipping the adapters around and using the
pads - only reason as I said in putting spools on was less chance of the bike slipping
off the pads doing other more aggressive wrenching tasks .... know what I'm torquing
about TBT

Also I may have a brand spank me new ride soon - very green in color - very large in
hp - you could say right now - it's the fastest production bike on the road
