I worked on the r a bit today, got some steel and cut it into 6" peices and notched them for the swinger. Came out pretty nice. I welded it with a Lincoln Pro 100 with flux core wire so the welds arent very clean but they're strong.

Swinger mocked up.

What brand of tires are those on the back of your bike? I remember them from back in the 80's (yes, I'm old) just don't remember who made them.

Cool, "old school tires" that's who I thought made them, but wasn't sure.

Made a custom grab bar, and put on a sled front shock, the shock works very well and its much better than the old one.
