Bansh-eman Posted March 22, 2008 Report Posted March 22, 2008 (edited) they look good, however i would be a little skeptical with how they hold up once they take a narley beating in the sand. all the stress seems to be on one point. did you use any program to desing them or just make them semetrical to mount in the same stock configuration? either way you do some killer work!

I have a couple of sets of arms that I used for reference. I have been studying other shops products also. Most of the parts I am designing and building are pretty much for drag use only. Though I really feel these would dune fine also. I also have been working with alot of people fabbing custom sand rails. That has helped me in designing Suspension arms that should be able to take quite a beating. Any other input is greatly appreciated. If you think they suck....let me know! I just want to build some sick looking but functional Banshee parts! Quote

If you dont already have one....go pick up a 4 1/2 inch electric grinder. You shold be able to find a ryobi for around $39.00 or so. Then get the 80 grit flap wheel for it. That will save you a ton of time when smoothing things out. Also, for cutting metal, use the cut-off style wheels, not the standard grinder wheels. You will be able to cut out the old braces in no time! On another note, I am tooling up to build a-arms. But most of my products are all going to be for drag only. I may make a couple jigs for +2+1 arms, but not any time soon. Quote
bada450r Posted March 29, 2008 Report Posted March 29, 2008 TI is unnessessary! just build a full chromoly frame! i have weight a +12 cromoly swing arm vs a ti swing arm and theres quite of bit of diference in weight..iam just simply saying that if i can get ti for the price of cromoly why not just do whatever i want to build with ti.....azcustoms iam truly jelous of the great work you do...........

Stellar Performance Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 Hey Guys....Just got the frame back from the Sand Blaster. I had it stripped and ready for its new owner who appears to have backed out. I had a couple other people hit me up with interest in purchasing it, but nothing for sure. So I am going to use it for mock up purposes for now. If anyone is interested in it, hit me up. The frame will be sold bare with a custom Stem made to the buyers specs. Lengthened, Antivibe, full drag, etc. I will get some pics up of it in a couple of days. I am currently in Los Angeles for the Westec Tooling Convention. Gotta keep up with all the new machinery and fabrication tools :thumbsup: If anyone needs any input on doing there frames up....just pm me. I have no problems giving some insight to people. Quote

Stellar Performance Posted May 11, 2008 Report Posted May 11, 2008 Well.....always keep in mind that you can hit me up with any questions you may have. If you are going to tear the bike completely down and do it up, send me a PM and we can probably work something out...... :thumbsup: Quote
bigdaddy69 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Posted May 11, 2008 You do some awesome work AZ. This thread will be very helpful when I start to cut my frame in the next week or so. Quote
