We recieved the CalFAB for this project and it was a very solid piece but needed some repairs for cosmetics from years of use.
You know, I got to hand it to Flyin Brian. He has been busy as heck and I managed to stop by and he made time to fix the swinger for Tammy's build. Not only that, but he ALWAYS finds ways to make something better than it was.
For instance. He made the point that how could CalFab make such beautiful works of art, and then fall short on the slider configuration. As some may know, they used 2 flat stock plastic rails and drilled wood screws into the arm for chain protection which was adequate at best. You can see the damage on this swinger before repairs. Well Brian came up with a simple solution. Weld up the screw holes and set it up for a stock chain slider. In which case I opted for the almighty beefy TM Designworks system. So all is fitted, repaired with new bearings and seals. a litlle more clean-up, drill and tap the slider bung hole and get the repop stickers from Blue and she's goin on..Good news, the ported top end hopefully is just about done this week as well.
Pics in order of swinger progress from getting it to wher it is now, and I still need to do some final cleaning on it when it's ready.

Darn nice build. I like these.
looks awesome rob
Beautiful!
Do those TM Designworks sliders work with the nylon swingarm bushings available here on the 3ww shop? Just wondering because I got a conventional slider and I had to clearance the slider where it wraps around the front due to the bushings vs needle bearings.

Hey man progress takes time and most people don't stick with a build for this long.
It looks awesome so far.
Ok, it is up and running. I have about 1 hour left of work to do and some major clean-up and detail work. The Calfab has a problem with the caliper mount bracket. Calfab placed the pin for the brake bracket too low and it causes the caliper to hit the swing arm gusset and the block off plate will not go on, nor can you adjust the chain. This gusset was ground away by another owner to "remedy" the problem. (You can see this in the dirty swing arm pics above) before Flyin Brian made the repairs. So what I will be doing is making a custom brake caliper plate to position the caliper back to the correct OEM position. Then All I have left is to run the rear brake hose and bleed it. I also have a like NOS front tire on a silver rim that I will be putting on when time permits. And Lastly, waiting on my Answer silencer, stickers and shroud stickers from Bruce, AKA Blue27. He was the one that did the Calfab stickers and I couldn't be happier with his work. For now, Retro Racer is just about done. I built this trike to mimic what a "period correct era" race trike might have had. No more no less.
