I'm certainly no expert, but I seem to remember hearing that 70% of your breaking power comes from your front wheels.
I've had a few days of silly errors, wrong measurements, got some files mixed up and lasered some wrong bits, happens every now and then, so I also took the time last night to go through a bunch of files, and trim off the excess.
So the swingarm is done, came up very well indeed, when I got the right files together that is. Easy to make, and reasonably neat looking, not that it's something that will be seen, or that you want to see.
Because the swingarm needs something to swing off, I also did the rear bulkhead.

Bracing not finished, and will depend on video when i drive it on some rough stuff to see what's going on.
You can't see any difference from the last rear bulkhead picture on Friday, but it is completely revamped, including new laser cut bulkhead, resetting of the rear rollbar angles, and resetting of the main chassis lower rails' angles.
Happy now, and what you can see extra is the 2 swingarm pivot mounts.

Another step forward....
If possible, I'd like to get red ratchet straps on mine! It'll go faster!

Yes, Red is faster, but it is also less economical. Which do you prefer?
