i have mocked up the new swing arm tho and once mr lynton has .."adapted" it and ive found some wheels we re away ..well at least ill be able to wheel it around the workshop
891

the seat base needs lengthening and i need to attack the frame and lop off all the unnecessary lugs etc luckily the XS swinger and the Zephyr swinger aren't that far apart in diamesions

pav mate u dont know me for shit but i have jims swing here i have just tacked up the brace but ran out of gas before i did any real welds
early next week i will have some more but i thought i would just ask do u want it fully welded before jim picks it up next week
id be happer finishing it(i did it quick late at night so happer if i get it to look better before any 1 sees it lol) but i eye balled it off a couple of phone pics he took i think it clears the frame and chain . ill take some more pics and post them over this week end see what u think
