Because the bike is inspired by the oldskool US dragbikes it's fitted
with solid rear struts. But instead of welding the mountpoints to
the swingarm I made them adjustable while retaining a clean look from
the outside.
The chain adjusters are made from billet aluminum which fit perfectly
inside the swingarm to add to the strength.
Again the end caps were designed for a clean look and simplicity.
This picture shows the adjustability of the mounting
points on the inside of the swingarm and the clean look from the outside.
The overall axle/adjuster setup looks very clean and
tidy.
A closer look...
The struts look very thin compared to the rest but well
up to the job.
These drawings show the adjustment range from the
neutral position (swingarm perpendicular to the road).
The mounting point can be moved 50mm forward or 60mm back 10mm steps.
Moving the mounting point 10mm also lowers the rear about 10mm (not
entirely linear but close).
