Very similar bike built by one of Scandinavian guys on ADVRider DR Big tread. He used GSXR (old) swingarm and I think most of guys used GSXR or Bandit 1200 swingard (one off Bandit very difficult to adapt). Turned out GSXR swingarm is much less rigid than SR43 stock swingarm and he is changing it back.

I think best is to use either stock swingarm (you can make it longer) or some more hi-tech aluminium swingarm, but one on your photo brings no advantages over DR stock.

Apologies about English - my writing in Dutch is awful.

Here is photo of similar type of bike with stock swingarm.
You may easily brace it if you want more rigidity.

[Nielson71]

hello bluesman,my englishreading isnt that great so do you mean that the bike you post have a dr swinger in it or a older type gsx?

and do you mean that if i want a bandit swinger in the bike it kost me a lot of work?

thanks for the info and de pic.of the black bike

[bluesman]

Your English better than my writing in Dutch

Correct, bike in the photo I posted have original DR800 swingarm.

Another guy converted his DR to similar bike like you have in your picture. He used GSXR swingarm. I think bike in your photo also have GSXR swingarm. And this swingarm is much worse than DR original. He says it is too flexible.

We with my friends measured Bandit swingarm and found, that because of different levers in progressive system, different axle and a bit different width it is lot of work to adapt it to DR. Then one of guys measured weight of aluminium Bandit swingarm (new model) and it turns out it weights not much different from DR original. So - there is no win in using it

Original SR43 swingarm is very rigid, this is why it is so bulky.

One more photo for you this is same GSXR swingarm I think.

[Nielson71]

the bike you post is the same as mine!first he was zilver and later green!
ik the story of the bike he says that it is a honda900 swinger but i dont no a type of 900 with that kind of swinger!

maybe i first try it with the org.swinger, i want a 5,5" wheel for like a 170/60 or 180/55 tire!

the flexebiletie is not a problem it has to be a fun bike!

[Monstersmurf]

Loving the idea!!!

The frames are stock?

[bluesman]

Yes, I know - I read all story

I have wheel 4.25 in my DR800 SR43 and it is practically maximum you can have in this bike. 160 tyre already needs sprocket to be moved out because chain will touch tyre

170 is totally out of question.

Swingarm on your bike - now I think recognize it looks. It looks like from CB900F 1981 model with "ears" for shock absorbers cut off. But it is a bit strange, because it seems to have progression lever on your bike and CB900F never had it. Hmmm...

Take a look

http://media.photobucket.com/image/CB90 ... C_0215.jpg#

looks similar, right?

[bluesman]

Loving the idea!!!

The frames are stock?

Black one have stock frame. Other I think rear part modified, correct?

[bluesman]

some more for you guys

I think guy that built it lives in Finland or Sweden...can't remember

[bluesman]

this is how I dealt with problem of 150 tyre sometimes touched by chain

[Nielson71]

yeh i see wat you mean!
perhaps its smart to first have a good look at a dr!
the one post has a 190/50 tyre so i want to know howe that is posible hee has a ducati 900ss wheel!

first i have to sell the parts off my crasht bike,i am half way with the money for a dr800

this was my old bike a crasht it 3 weeks a go and have had a lot of luck

[bluesman]

oh bad luck! I love TLs. I have a bit similar second bike (also with some upgrades), but TLs more "race" kind...

[Nielson71]

this is after the crash

the bike hit the tree i get stopt at the pavement edge!

[Nielson71]

smart idee for the chain!
3 colegaas of my have vtrs sounds nice but iam a suzuki man zo thats why i stript the tlr

[bluesman]

most important that you are alive and will be able to ride again! I love bikes, but bikes are metal. People are important!

If I will be able to help you in any form to work on new project - you always welcome. I do not have that much, but some stuff I have - small lathe (draaibank), simple invertor welder and quite a lot of knowledge and passion to bike building

[Nielson71]

sounds good bluesman i rememeber it!
thanks for the info so far

[Monstersmurf]

What is your plan for a fork (voorvork)?

[Nielson71]
