Polished 1100 Swingarm

[renobruce]

Only problem is now you have given me something else to do now.......
Maybe I'll just paint it clear???8-[

OK so where do I get 2000 grit.....................

You can get it at autobody paint supply stores. Make sure you ask for wet/dry paper.

Bruce, you need to stop one-upping me. I'm simply running out of time (and $$$) keeping up with you and all your mods. Really, you should spend more time with the wife and kids. Maybe take up boating, rebuilding clocks or something. Anything. For the love of Pete, just stop improving the skunk. You're killing me over here. :-|

I thought I was just catching up with YOU! Don't you already have an 1100 swingarm on yours?

Yes.
I also have other things going on that I will not mention for fear of you one-upping me yet again...#-o

[renobruce]

Yes.

This will be all I have left. Got the temp gauge installed awhile back, then swingarm and new pipe... and I'm done with the Skunk.... oh, except I'll be getting it repainted next winter. :-D

I've got to get going on the other 1000 project. I'm WAY behind on that one.

that looks really good! i couldnt even get a mirror that shiny!:-D

Got the swingarm installed today. Here it is with the 1100 chainguard:



and the other side:



The chain adjusters look weak up against the swingarm... I think I'll have them chromed, just for 8track. :-D

The bike is filthy. I'm going to scrub her down, especially the front of the motor, and get the pipes on. Then a complete wash and detail, and she's ready for the season! Just in time, too. It's finally getting nice around here!\\/

Yeah, she's a real pig, completely filthy.

That bike is cleaner than my tools on their best day. I like the look of the aluminum peaking out below the chain guard. Ever think about running with no guard?

gets stuff VERY dirty VERY fast

[renobruce]

No guard? No, I never thought of that. Do you think it would look good that way?


Do they make chrome chains? :twisted:

Very nice! Love the rear shocks. What kind are they?

[J_C]

I envy your work Bruce!!! Very nice. I love the polished look; I just don't love having to do it every two weeks because of the salt air. Be thankful for your climate!

Bruce man i gotta say that it looks AMAZING! I have the same swinger on my cafe project, but i dont have the patience, nor the want to polish it and keep it that way. Much respect for having such. ( i just painted mine aluminum silver again)

Don't do it. It's messy. Get one off a early 1100L. They were chrome and should bolt right up.

This will be all I have left.

What about those weak front brakes...

[Street Fighter]

The shocks are Works.
