Yes I'd be willing to some things. I was thinking about offering my services for fork stem swaps and I have a couple of extra alum swingarms that I'm going to put oil tanks in. What do you have in mind?

Fork stem swaps? Willing to do this for a modern set up on a 550? If so PM me please

Well, I was actually thinking fork stem swap. Your swingarm has me thinking as well.

What kind of forks

Mtmooradian · « **Reply #104 on:** June 05, 2012, 10:33:08 AM »

I was also thinking frames... Stock frames stripped with the removable top tubes, rear sets, and subframes made to order.

Don't know... I am still planning my build. The thought of a modern front end conversion has been in my head just not sure if thats the route I want to go. Like I said Just planning. On my last build I needed stuff machined all the time it seemed. Wheel spacers, axle, headlight ears.....

Thinking these for under the front of the tank.

One on each side... Or one and some kind of remote oil filter housing on the other side

What about just adding cooling fins to the swinger-mounted tank?

Mtmooradian · « **Reply #109 on:** June 06, 2012, 08:43:40 PM »

Yeah I think the tank acts as a pretty good heat sink.....I'm debating about building another swing arm with a tank and a remote spin on oil filter.....

I'm getting about 2 and half quarts out of my tank.

She runs.........

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #111 on:** June 08, 2012, 07:26:13 PM »

Youtube vid of it running mate, or it didn't happen!

Mtmooradian · « **Reply #112 on:** June 08, 2012, 09:20:58 PM »

Too late, she's a pile of parts. Everything's stripped down for sandblasting, primer and paint.
Making my final list tonight.....

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #113 on:** June 08, 2012, 10:14:03 PM »

I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product!

Dyrden · « **Reply #114 on:** June 09, 2012, 09:07:51 PM »

Sweet. Cant wait to see it. Put me on your list for swingarm/tanks. Im serious, I want one for my next project.

Mtmooradian · « **Reply #115 on:** June 10, 2012, 07:24:16 PM »

Score....$10 at the swap meet this weekend.... Painted it black... Going to put it in the milling machine and cut the fins down to get rid of the rub mark....

Mtmooradian · « **Reply #116 on:** June 11, 2012, 06:03:51 AM »

No more rub mark

Mtmooradian · « **Reply #117 on:** June 11, 2012, 05:46:12 PM »

Didn't like the pod filter look.... Do you you guys like this?

brandEn · « **Reply #118 on:** June 11, 2012, 05:47:37 PM »

I like it. Totally unique!

Tews19 · « **Reply #119 on:** June 11, 2012, 06:45:29 PM »

EHH.. it's different. Maybe it will look better when the bike is complete.

Mtmooradian · « **Reply #120 on:** June 11, 2012, 06:52:15 PM »

Pod guard

Not a whole lot mate, I'd be much more impressed if you made a cool new airbox, pods can be a real PITA, but the stock airbox can be an ugly mother, so a trick airbox would not only be unique, but would probably sell well, too. Cheers, Terry.

Mtmooradian · « **Reply #122 on:** June 12, 2012, 07:31:57 AM »

It's just bolt on so I'll mess around with this and maybe an air box.... It's hard to tell with the bike apart..... My fathers new triumph has a faux cover that looks like this and it looks great on his bike.

Mtmooradian · « **Reply #123 on:** June 12, 2012, 05:06:36 PM »

For some stability....

Not a fan of that pod guard. I like the concept a lot, but it's just the styling that needs tweaking. The holes are too large. I was thinking something with a metal mesh would look clean, and allow the pods to breathe while hiding them.
