[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 102828, member: 3426"] Thank you..... this is version 2.0 not quite what I wanted, but felt the need to move along. The first go was a little shorter and was supposed to have eccentric chain adjusters, but got a little ahead of myself and welded the arms and cross braces together before I welded on the round sections for the adjusters. Of course they warped slightly and then I had no way to true them up because it wouldn't fit in the mill. This one above is from a BMW 650, and just needed the swingarm pivots trimmed, another cross tube to support the added shock mount, chain guide, bushings, and some tabs rearranged. I've since replaced the cross slide on the lathe, so could fix the other one by bolting it onto the new slide, but setup would be painful and spring is approaching. [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
