If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Sorry, didn't know what else to call the thread.

I found this site just recently. I was directed to it by the guy I have just bought a Bandit swinger off for my GS1000.

This is the site:

http://www.krueger-junginger.de

And this is a taste of what they do... (it is the swingarms you are looking at...)

More pics of this one here: http://www.custom-wolf.de/index.php?CONTENT=1,1

And a bit more classic...

I have had a bit of a look through the Custom Wolf page, aside from the amazing work that they do I can't imagine the bill once they are finished...
 
Interesting mix of parts on the Kat; cant say it really grab me though. Someone needs to save the exhaust valves on that Kawi by doing some jetting

Edit : I looked quite a selection of swingarms

HA HA!

Nicely spotted :clap:
 
That blue exhaust pipe looks cooked on that kawi?? ..not a fan of the look of that kat whatever it is, but I appreciate the workmanship

Very cool site, thanks for showing us, that tail design is their customizing style. I agree, not my taste but they probably say the same thing about our stretched bikes. The engineering is what stands out and always does in their customs. Absolutely stunning, a tremendous amount of work and custom fab. Here is a pic of the custom arm I made out of chromoly for my 82 Kat resto-mod project.

the swingarm on that kat is most likely one of the older spondon or martek swingers.

Kinda hard to imagine the hours of work that went into filleting (I assume that is how you did that?) those welds :-&.

Exceptional work :eek:; OK now I will go and hide my Por-15 and HF spray gun :o

I think this is one of the times that "attention to detail" applies unequivocally!
 
Thanks Colin...LOL Pos! Thank you, you are correct as always... yes about one month's work in the fabrication of this arm. Here are the pic's before and after. Sorry, I didn't mean to take away from the thread.

Hi Hitman, that is not a swingarm! That is pure ART! Thanks for the pics and I love the lines and design of that arm, just magic!!! Cheers.
 
WoW! Ditto, it is art, and you are by no means taking away from the thread!
I like :clap:
 
Well now we need to see some more pics of that project....
Stunning swinger, by the way. Is it fillet brazed?
 
It kind of sucks though that they make a piece that NICE but they MIG weld it together instead of tigging it! Ray.
 
Hitman, nice job! do you do your own CAD design for your fabrication?
 
Thanks for all the interest and nice comments. The arm is something I thought up from scratch. It is hand bent chromoly, tig welded, then ground smooth with a light coat of filler. Many, many hours in this and really the whole bike. This 82 Katana is something I have been constructing for the past 2 years. Hopefully to be completed in May 10. It has a BHP belt driven magneto and a belt driven alternator system. A nice 1428 cc 1150 motor will lots of "good stuff." So many mods to this bike from wheels to frame, to subframe, 05 GSXR 1000 suspension, to handmade bodywork, R6 headlight, etc. I will start a thread on it when it is complete. Here are a few recent pic's.
