Does anyone know where to pick up some suitable swingarm tubing?
The stock material is 1.4" x 3" x 0.165" with a nice outside radius, I could use 1.5 x 3 and would like to keep it over 1/8" thick and keep the radius.
Thanks

I'm pretty confident you won't find the exact tubing c'dale used. I'm sure it was extruded with a proprietary alloy and definitely a custom shape. I'm sure you could find something close at a metal supplier. They are everywhere, but probably not too easy to find. The yellow pages for metal might get it. Or check with a local welding company on where they get their metal from.

Going to use the 1.5 X 3 X .125 that I found. Once welded up I'll decide to box it in or not.
